A ordem jurídica representa a dimensão sociológica do law[1], examinando sistemas legais a partir de uma perspetiva externa de poder. Académicos como Weber e Marx exploram este conceito através das dinâmicas de poder societário. Ordem, conforme definida por Weber, norteia a ação humana através de máximas estabelecidas, com o direito distinguido por seu mecanismo coercitivo de aplicação. Kelsen enfatiza que a ordem jurídica é fundamentalmente um system[2] de normas validadas por uma norma fundacional, com a coerção como sua característica definidora. A ordem legal determina as condições e os agentes de aplicação, mantendo o monopólio da força física dentro de uma comunidade. A ordem jurídica internacional permanece controversa, caracterizada por mecanismos descentralizados onde os estados respondem a violações através de represálias e conflito, carecendo de instituições normativas centralizadas. O sistema opera através de interações complexas entre normas societárias, estruturas de poder e frameworks regulatórios, com a coerção servindo como um mecanismo crítico para manter a conformidade social.

Terms definitions
1. law. Law is a complex system of rules that regulate human behaviour through rights and duties, shaped by various social and cultural influences. Rooted in Latin and Sanskrit origins, it encompasses various legal families such as civil law and common law. The field largely distinguishes between public and private law, addressing corporate and individual interests respectively. Its foundations date back to archaic societies, with early codifications such as the Code of Ur-Namu and the Code of Hammurabi. Roman law significantly advanced legal systems, separating law from religion and morality, and developing sophisticated legal concepts. Modern law comes from multiple sources, including state legislation, international treaties and individual contracts. Courts and tribunals apply legal norms through interpretation guided by doctrine, custom and judicial precedent, reflecting the dynamic and adaptive nature of law.
2. system. A system is a complex arrangement of interconnected components working towards a common goal. Characterised by functional integration and synergy, systems can be physical or conceptual, ranging from biological organisms to organisational structures. Biological systems follow a hierarchical organisation from atomic to cosmic levels, while information systems in computer science focus on algorithmic processes. Systems interact dynamically with their environment through inputs and outputs, maintaining homeostasis through continuous communication between elements. Different types of systems exist across disciplines, including human biological systems such as digestive and nervous systems, and social systems such as economic and legal structures. The core principle underlying all systems is the interdependence of the components, where changes in one part can significantly influence the functionality and performance of the entire system.
Legal order (Wikipedia)

Ordem Jurídica é uma das acepções (interpretações) do termo Law, que designa um sistema de normas que regula a conduta humana e que, diferentemente das demais ordens sociais, contém o elemento da coação, isto é, exige determinado comportamento expresso por uma norma ligando o comportamento oposto a um ato de coerção, apoiado no uso da força.

Cabe destacar que o termo Ordem Jurídica é recorrentemente usado como sinônimo de ordenamento jurídico, sendo bastante difícil diferenciar a que se refere cada um deles.
