There can be no doubt that Professor Artur Kozak (1960-2009) was amongst the most original and innovative Central European legal theorists of the tu of the 2t0h and 21st century. His legal theory named 'juriscentrism', based on an unprecedented synthesis of philosophical interpretationism and anti--represent tionism, sociologocial constructivism, as well as pragmatist ethics (inspired b ethnocentrism), allowed to produce a fresh legitimising narrative for lawye power in society. The present paper aims to enquire about the place and role played by legal tradition within Kozak's jurisprudential project. Its main clai will be that legal tradition is a keystone of juriscentrism, as it is the basis for identity and the reproduction of the legal community, the sole guarantor of t reasonableness of judicial decisions.
