2 Ehrenzweig seems finally to adopt my positions on this, including the choice of the term “apex norm.” See his discussion on pp. 37-45, especially p. 38. Compare Stone, Legal System and Lawyers’ Reasonings, 104-05, 123-31 (1964); id. Mystery and Mystique in the Basic Norm, 27 Modern L.R. 34-50 (1963).

5 P. 144. Implied in the word “science,” of course, is Ehrenzweig's faith in the powers of psychoanalysis, which many may not share. Even understood in a looser sense, however, this final sentence of the ultissima verba is an extraordinary reversal of the roles of law and justice in “the pure theory of law.“
