Abstract

Law is a system of hierarchy of norms. Harmonization of higher and lower norms and their application ensure legality and effectiveness of law. At the same time, law is a changing system. These changes are the result of various political and other social infl uences. Their complexity often makes it impossible to clearly determine the hierarchical structure itself, which raises the question of the sufficiency of certain dominant legal methods for a more comprehensive interpretation of the effects of the legal system. The paper examines whether and in what way the interpretation of the efficacy of the legal system by means of the reduced principle of imputation differs, or is insufficient, in relation to the reduction of complexity of the legal system by means of codes and operations that make it autopoietic. I shall explain the most significant theoretical  implications on the example of a legal norm of one section of public law - university law and the law of scientific organisations - by determining the criteria for assessing legal and societal efficacy with respect to the feature of autopoiesis of the pertaining  systems - law, science, education and politics in the way they are determined in Luhmann’s systems theory.
