According to the traditional view, in this treatise the doctrinal study of law is understood as a discipline, which has to (1) produce information about the law and (2) systematise the legal norms (Aarnio 1989a, 3). In doing this, DSL is one category of the legal sciences. There are, however, many other fields of legal research in which the notion of legal science is normally used. Historical study, the sociology of law, law and economics, and the comparative studies of law all belong to this category. They are legal sciences in the wide sense of the term.
