Legal ontologies design raises knowledge management but also jurisprudence issues. To which extent is it possible to establish common concerns between technical means and theoretical constraints?After a brief presentation of the network methodology, we give two convergent results of our working groups on the feasibility of legal ontologies. First, the definition of a meta legal language handling fundamentals (acts, actors, conditions...) contributes to a shared understanding of legal knowledge between disciplines and jurisdictions. Second, ontological alignment concerns not only knowledge management but is also the core of the judge's activity.
