Legal Norms, Statistical Categories and Social Actions.
The aim of this article is to provide a reflection upon the status of data obtained from judicial statistics, the reflection being considered as a methodological prerequisite to the use and subsequent analysis of such data. Taking as an example the case of rental litigations, the authors analyze the structure of the juridical mechanism devised to enable rental price fixing, illustrating how the statistical instruments both reflect and contribute to the construction of the social representations of law, representations varying in accordance with the times.
