Abstract

Legal hermeneutics focuses on the interpretation of law, especially legal norms. Despite its philosophical approach and its perception as a theoretical discipline, it plays a fundamental role in legal practice. Lawyers and judges must thoroughly understand the laws to apply them properly, since interpreting legal rules is a crucial step. This is not limited to the judicial field since any legal professional must understand the normative content to substantiate his arguments. Legal hermeneutics directly influences the rights, obligations, and freedoms of people, being essential for the fair functioning of the legal system in today's society. This work is developed in this essence of content.
