In spite of their differences, most modern legal theories seem to accept a common necessary (but not sufficient) condition for the existence of a legal system (LS). A system of rules is an LS only if it is generally efficacious and performs certain social functions. There is, however, no agreement on the definition of efficacy or on the nature of relevant social functions.
