Abstract
This paper shifts the focus of traditional conceptions of law from norms to norm-guided conduct of citizens and explores the viability of re-thinking law in this fashion. The project may be seen as an extension of the approach of the American Legal Realists who conceived law's essence as the activity of judges.
