The legal relationship is a fundamental concept in jurisprudence[2] which represents the intersubjective bond created by legal norms. Originating from roman law[3] developed by the Pandect School in 19th century Germany, describes how social interactions are transformed into legally recognised connections. This concept involves subjects with distinct rights and obligations, connected through a bond of attribution over a specific object. Legal relationships are formed when legal norms interact with social facts, creating binding consequences between determined subjects. They can be categorised as simple or complex, public or private, and absolute or relative. O German Civil Code[1] of 1900 significantly advanced this understanding by systematically separating the constitution[4]It also analyses the effects and variations of legal relationships. The theory encompasses various perspectives, including the personalist, normative and objectivist approaches, revealing the intricate mechanisms by which the law[5] structures social interactions.

Terms definitions
1. German Civil Code ( German Civil Code ) The German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch or BGB), promulgated in 1900, emerged from the desire to unify civil law after the national unification of Germany in 1871. Influenced by the Napoleonic Code and Roman legal traditions, it systematically organises legal principles into five main sections: General Part, Law of Obligations, Law of Property, Family Law and Law of Succession. The code comprehensively regulates legal relationships, addressing aspects such as legal personality, contracts, property rights, family dynamics and inheritance. Its structure provides a coherent framework for civil interactions, establishing clear guidelines for individual and collective legal interactions. The BGB represents a significant milestone in German legal history, standardising civil law across previously fragmented states and providing a robust basis for modern legal practice.
2. jurisprudence. Case law is the systematic study of legal principles and judicial decisions, originating in Roman law and developing through English common law. It encompasses the interpretation and application of laws by the courts, serving to fill legal gaps and adapt to contemporary societal needs. Judicial decisions provide critical guidance for legal practice, with specialised databases helping lawyers navigate complex legal landscapes. While laws have broader application and are created through legislative processes, court decisions offer specific interpretations and precedents within a given jurisdiction. The discipline plays a crucial role in understanding legal customs, resolving disputes and ensuring consistent judicial reasoning. Modern jurisprudence relies on technological solutions to categorise and analyse court decisions, enabling more efficient legal research and interpretation.
