Language, legal texts and legal interpretation: notes for a comparative study between legal realisms

This paper is a comparative reflection on the models of Legal Realism, in the Theory of Law, considering the conceptions of the Methodological Legal Realism (Riccardo Guastini), in the Italian perspective, and of the Theory of Realistic Humanism (Eduardo C. B. Bittar), in the Brazilian perspective. Therefore, this article shows the similarities and disconnections between the two conceptions of Legal Realisms, especially considering the domain of the indetermination of language, the legal texts and the central role of the legal interpretation to the contemporary Theory of Law.
