Jurisprudence and sociology have different tasks. Jurisprudence describes the legal System from within and suggests how to interprete and apply legal norms. Sociology describes the legal System from the outside. To what extent an external description can touch upon the internal structure and internal problems depends upon its conceptual instruments. The present paper proposes to use the theory of self-referential autopoietic Systems to reconstruct the self-description of legal Systems, particularly its concept of norms, its ways of legal reasoning and its legal doctrine
