In order to contribute to the judicial assessment of scientific evidence in the procedural context, this research proposes to understand the existence of the autonomy of research in legal sciences from the criterion of demarcation between metaphysics and science, using the notions of fidelity and falsifiability in Karl Popper's Pure Logic. The notions of induction/hermeneutics so valuable in experimental sciences are reviewed and compared with the exegetic idea of Pure Law, in the manner taught by Kelsenian positivism, as well as the possibilities that arise from the assignment of internal and external legal demarcation. The dissertation concludes with the centrality of positivist legal science as a source of scientific, non-metaphysical reality, and the risks of sciences dependent on the inductive method in violating the scientific rigor of Pure Law. However, through the Popperian notion of “corroboration”, it is possible to create a Map of Scientific Certainties for legal science to account for the estimable levels of reliability of disciplinary and transdisciplinary scientific evidence in the light of Pure Law. This Map of Scientific Certainties will allow for the production of more rigorous and reliable criteria for weighing in judicial proceedings.
