Together with Karl Olivecrona, the Danish legal philosopher Alf (Niels Christian) Ross (1899–1979) is internationally recognized as the best-known representative of Scandinavian legal realism. In fact, the very label Scandinavian legal realism was created to identify that particular movement in legal philosophy that incorporates both Axel Hägerström’s Uppsala School (and his pupils, like Olivecrona and Vilhelm Lundstedt) and Alf Ross (see Bjarup 1978, 9; Marshall 1956).
