Article Summary
Olivecrona was a Swedish jurist of the ’realist’ school, and from 1933 Professor of Procedural Law in the University of Lund. He regards law as a body of ‘independent imperatives’ effective in bringing about certain patterns of behaviour in society. The reality of law is psychological and behavioural, not dependent on some metaphysical world of norms.
