Abstract

Lawrence M. Friedman has analysed the problem of a modern legal culture in detail (Friedmann 1994, 117). The doctrinal study of law (later, DSL) is part of that culture, especially in the so-called Continental legal systems. One of the basic aims of this study is to identify the place for DSL in this modern legal culture, and, in this regard, to continue Friedman’s analysis.
