Considerar que las identificaciones fáctico-jurídicas se encuentran prefiguradas por el propio marco de información factual que las reglas del proceso instruyen, simplifica la complejidad del problema de los hechos, mas no lo resuelve. Para su comprensión no basta con comprimirlos -mediante subsunción simple o doble (ponderación)- en figuras jurídicas. Es necesario recurrir, además, a la teoría de la norma y la teoría de la prueba.

The play begins by the elderly Syracusian trader Egeon relating the back-story of his family. When Egeon was young, he married...

Luego de que por mucho tiempo imperara en el Derecho continental el ideario de la "omnipresencia del legislador democrático" o de la "plenitud del ordenamiento jurídico" y, por esta vía, de la llamada "unidad de solución...

El segundo trata sobre los derechos naturales, o preconstitucionales, y "sobre la permisibilidad de que los jueces los identifiquen y los hagan valer".
