The legal decision is the result of the use of the law. The use of the law includes the application of the law and the finding of the law, but mainly the latter. In the application of the law, the facts match the provisions, thus the legal decisions could be obtained directly through the conclusion. In the finding of the law, the facts do not match the provisions, thus before making conclusion for the decisions, the two should be equalized, on one side generalizing the facts to upgrade them to the provisions, on the other side making concretion of the provisions to extend them downwards to the special case. This is the so一called equalization model. Accordingly, the rmdel of the shaping of legal decisions is made up of conclusion model and equalization model. |
