The paper deals with five conceptual problems of incompleteness (broadly understood as the absence of “self-sufficiency” of legal orders) that normative authorities must inescapably face, when building up a legal system. The paper’s main purpose is not so much to establish new results, but rather to bring together existing material to form an overall picture of the many faces of the phenomenon of the incompleteness of law.

Abstract
The paper deals with five conceptual problems of incompleteness (broadly understood as the absence of “self-sufficiency” of legal orders) that normative authorities must inescapably face, when building up a legal system. The paper’s main purpose is not so much to establish new results, but rather to bring together existing material to form an overall picture of the many faces of the phenomenon of the incompleteness of law. Nonetheless, we may find that what is presented here may carry some interesting repercussions for some on-going hotly debated jurisprudential questions.
