This thesis aims to discuss the indeterminacy of law through the lenses of
the legal realism movement and the thoughts of H. L. A. Hart. The insights and
works of Holmes and Pound opened the way for American legal realism and were
used as building blocks for the work of legal realists such as Jerome Frank and
Karl Llwellyn, among others. One of the best known points of legal realism is that
judges first arrive at their decision through non-legal means and then seek, in the
legal material, the basis for justifying their decisions. According to the legal
realists the legal material can justify just about any decision arrived at through
non-legal means. Jerome Frank placed a high degree of subjectivism in the legal
decisions, going as far as explaining how judges decide based on what they had
for breakfast. Hart, as the legal realists, also defends the indeterminacy of law.
However, according to him law’s indeterminacy is due to the open texture of
language. The present work will investigate the position of the realists and H.L.
A. Hart about the indeterminacy of law. Even though they converge on the
indeterminacy thesis, they disagree about its root causes.
