Lawfulness and the Perception of Legal Salience (original) (raw)

This paper examines the subjective ability to identify legally salient properties (LSPs) within complex legal situations and proposes a theoretical framework for understanding legal perception as a practical virtue. It emphasizes the interplay between initial identification of LSPs and effective legal argumentation, arguing against existing philosophical accounts that inadequately address this relationship. The discussion highlights the significance of practical perception and intellectual virtues in shaping legal reasoning and decision-making.
