In the paper, I am going to show that the concepts of truth and consequence are not just pure rigor notions used as independent correlates for investigation in logic and law, but that, instead, they are conceptions which are relative to the issues they are employed to investigate. I am intended to argue that in law and in deontic logic, there are core issues of study in relation to which the concepts of logical value and consequence may vary. These issues are situations, agent’s behavior and agents themselves. In the view of the fact that to investigate these issues is a vital intention for both law and deontic logic, the idea that the notions with the help of which these issues are going to be investigated may vary, seems to be a serious challenge. However, since legal theorists and logicians treat diversely the relations between the three issues of their conceptual concern, on one hand, and the conceptions of truth and consequence, on the other, the reply to this challenge may be found in the additional log
