The similarities between Law and Literature have been pointed out for quite some time. However, the academic approach is more of a novelty. This rather "formal" intent to outline the similitude between Law and Literature can be grouped, basically, in two "schools": the "edifying school" and the "scientific school". Whereas the first one pursues the study of literary texts in order to obtain justice criteria, the second one is more interested in the application of literary categories and interpretive methods to normative texts. Maybe both schools aim towards a noble objective. Unfortunately, both the novelty and freshness of these ideas have produced a rather naïve reception that very well could translate in a loss of rigour in both Law and Literature.

Keywords : Interpretation; literary text; legal text; fiction.
