Abstract

The linguistic-ontological turn has brought uncountable consequences to the interpretation of Law. However, dogmatic-legal knowledge remains hostage to a judicial protagonism. In this context, the criticism of judicial discretion appears as a matter of democracy: decisions must be coherent, assuring the integrity of Law by reinforcing the normative power of the Constitution from which arises the need for correct answers in Law. Thus, to verify the role of interpreter of the law, it is necessary to deconstruct a thesis that has been serving as the basis for the characterization of the model of Law and judge in many contemporary legal systems: the well-known judges Hercules, Jupiter and Hermes (Ost), which has led to many misunderstandings and different in legal theory.
