“…Of course, scholars such as Tamanaha hesitate to give the label of 'law' to 'negotiated orders' under the guise of 'living law' because the term 'living law' betrays analytical clarity and drags 'non-law' materials into the law field. 25 However, this article agrees with Claassens's argument, that the rejection of living law as law, on whatever basis, carries with it the implication that people-made law cannot be law as such. Such rejection implies that, to qualify as law, a practice must be made by authorised 'experts', such as lawyers, judges, governments and traditional leaders.…”

“…Вихід у світ у 1913 р. роботи Ерліха «Основоположення соціології права» знаменував закріплення у науковому ландшафті більшменш стрункої соціолого-правової концепції, заснованої на критиці догматизації права і оспорюванні визначення права як суто примусового порядку, встановлюваного і підтримуваного державою. І хоча визначний спір Ерліха, з його концепцією живого права, і Кельзена, прихільника юридичного позитивізму, змушував багатьох дослідників визначати їх як антагоністів, пізніше з'явилося бачення (Б. Таманага, М. Антонов) [22,23], згідно з яким концепція Ерліха інтерпретується як така, яка навряд чи повністю відкидає значення офіційного права і скоріше дає можливість шукати відповідні правила, які можуть збалансувати конкретні інтереси певної справи із загальним інтересом, що захищається правопорядком.…”
