Instrumentalism is the view that creativity in the interpretation of legal texts is justified in order to assure that the law serves good public policy and social interests, although legal instrumentalists could also see the end of law as the promotion of justice or the protection of human rights.
工具主义认为，为了实现好的公共政策和社会利益，可以在对法律的文本解释中进行创新，尽管法律工具论也会认为法律的目的是推动公正或保障人权。
