It is about considering legality from a critical and socio-cultural point of view, which makes possible to understand and use law in a wider context, supported by the auxiliary sciences of law. Through that, hermeneutics, interdisciplinarity, and the practical reason as spaces of what is reasonable are taken into consideration since they have a lot to contribute to juridical science and to the training of lawyers.
