The topics of juridical everyday-business are relatively short lived and the commentary on this everyday-practice frequently runs behind. Following the rapid development of High-Court jurisdiction, especially at the EU-level, we notice a setting of methodological standards that cannot be comprehended by the guidelines of classical interpretation. As jurisprudence is a practical discipline and as legal practice has developed its own inner dynamics, the role of legal theory becomes a matter of increasing necessity.

A discussão dos tópicos do dia-a-dia jurídico tem vida útil curta e os comentários sobre esse quotidiano são em grande parte perfunctórios. Seguindo o rápido desenvolvimento das competências dos Tribunais Superiores especialmente na esfera da União Européia pode-se notar um conjunto de balizas metodológicas que não podem ser compreendidas à luz das diretrizes das interpretações clássicas. A ciência do direito é uma disciplina essencialmente prática e como a prática jurídica desenvolveu sua própria dinâmica interna, o papel da teoria do direito se transforma numa questão de crescente necessidade.

Der Beitrag versucht zu verdeutlichen, warum es in Ordnung ist, von Rechtsfindung, Rechtserkenntnis und Rechtsanwendung zu sprechen. Bedenken gegenüber diesem Sprachgebrauch sind in der Folge ontologieskeptischer Annahmen artikuliert worden, die Zweifel am Realitätsgehalt der genannten Begriffe anmelden. „Rechtsontologie” wird in bestimmten Pointierungen dieser Skepsis als Knock-down-Argument eingesetzt. Dafür gibt es aber keinen Grund.

The contribution attempts to illustrate why it is appropriate to speak of finding, re-cognising and application, or applying, of the law. Reservations have been articulated about this use of language as a consequence of ontologically sceptical assumptions, which raise doubts as to the level of reality contained in these terms. “Legal ontology” is used as a knock-down argument in certain pointed aspects of this scepticism. However, there is no reason to do so.
