Legal Realism

Explanation:

Legal realism aims for effectiveness in law. It is radically opposed to the opinion expressed by legal positivism. For legal realism, the fundamental core of the law are the facts and the effective social behaviours. Legal certainty can be achieved through adaptation to the demands and aspirations of citizens living in a constantly changing social reality.
