Summary/Abstract: Starting from the fact that the dominant feature of life and implicitly of the social reality, is represented by the development within them, of some micro-realities with their own autonomy but interdependent, it results as a result: the existence of structuralism as an ordering element of the latter, as parts what are born, exist and act within the social reality as a system. In this way we realize that everything based on this social reality, at least from a conceptual point of view, reveals the nature of a supra-systemic element which thus appropriates this structuralist idea and allows the organizational action of structuralism. As a corollary to the fact that it is the most specialized superstructure of social reality and even more so to the fact that it is the most important such superstructure that reflects its action right on this reality, we become aware that law as a field of understanding, explanation, ordering and understanding of the social reality, must not be foreign to the idea of structuralism, in terms of its way of structuring like an articulated and specialized system.
