Abstract

The article attempts to provide a brief account of the ways in which lawyers carry through their arguments concerning some closed moral evaluations or norms and showing how by reference to those norms and evaluations they argue some legal issues as, e.g., the question of the interpretation of legal norms. The author based his reasoning on examples taken from Polish legal literature.
