After pointing that “There is noobservable society which does not include a multiplicity ofparticular groups” 15 , Gurvitch claims,” Every group in which activesociality predominates and which realizes a positive value ...affirms itself as a ‘normative fact’ engendering its own juralregulation” 16 .“Active sociality” refers to a thought of having something to bedone, a duty to be performed together and “positive value” means asocially recognized “good” that is supposed to be realized in the lifeof the particular group 17 . Different types of the social groups, inaccordance with their special qualities, are capable to produce theirown “frameworks of <strong>law</strong>” <strong>18</strong> .Closely related with these assessments, Gurvitch contends thatthere is a “spontaneous” level in the life of <strong>law</strong> as opposed to the“organized” 19 . When speaking of the <strong>law</strong> which arises from theformer level, Gurvitch uses the term “spontaneous <strong>law</strong>”, which maybe recognized and described just in the same way as the “organized<strong>law</strong>” of the state 20 .Pospisil : “The Legal Systems of Subgroups”Basing his views on anthropological studies, Leopold Pospisilargues that any human society “... does not possess a singleconsistent legal system, but as many such systems as there are14 Ibid, p. 53.15 Ibid, p. 232.16 Ibid, pp. 241, 242.17 Ibid, p. 201.<strong>18</strong> Ibid, pp. 242-250.19 Ibid, pp. 222, 223.20 Ibid, pp. 226-229.28DR.

Conversely, every functioning subgroup ofa society regulates the relations of its members by its own legalsystem, which is of necessity different, at least in some respects,from those of the other subgroups. 21 ”According to Pospisil, there are certain attributes which mustcoexist in order to provide the essence of <strong>law</strong>. He lists the fouressential “attributes of <strong>law</strong>” as authority, intention of universalapplication, obligatio and sanction 22 . “Authority” is an individualor a group of individuals, who have the power to make a decisionand to have it obeyed even in cases where it faces resistance ofthose to whom the decision is related 23 . “The intention of universalapplication” points that the decision is taken with the intentionthat it shall be applied in all cases of similar kind which may takeplace in the future 24 . “Obligatio”, differing from ‘obligation’, meansthat the decision states or implies that a party is under a duty as aresult of his/her act; while “sanction”, included in the decision,shows what is to be done in order to have the situation corrected 25 .Consequently Pospisil calls <strong>law</strong> “... as principles of institutionalizedsocial control, abstracted from decisions passed by a legal authority(judge, headman, father, tribunal, or council of elders), principlesthat are intended to be applied universally (to all “same” problemsin the future), that involve two parties locked in an obligatiorelationship, and that are provided with a sanction of physical ornonphysical nature. 26 ”Since in every subgroup of a society where these attributes areobserved we confront with a specific legal system; we can speak of21 Leopold Pospisil, Anthropology of Law, A Comparative Theory, Harper &Row Publishers, New York, pp. 98, 99.22 Ibid, p. 43.23 Ibid, p. 44.24 Ibid, p. 79.25 Ibid, pp. 82, 83.26 Ibid, p. 95.29DR.
