Read a random definition: Circumspecte agatis

A quick definition of rule of recognition:

The rule of recognition is the most important rule in a legal system. It helps people understand which rules they need to follow and how they should behave in society. There are two types of rules: primary rules that tell people what to do, and secondary rules that help people understand and change the primary rules. The rule of recognition is a secondary rule that tells people when a rule is important and needs to be followed. It can be a list of rules on a public monument or a complete set of rules.

A more thorough explanation:

The rule of recognition is a fundamental rule in legal theory that helps identify and understand all other rules in a legal system. It is a secondary rule that instructs citizens on when a pronouncement or societal principle constitutes a rule of obligation.

In simpler terms, the rule of recognition is like a guidebook that tells people which rules they need to follow and how to follow them. It helps people understand what is legal and what is not.

For example, in the United States, the rule of recognition is the Constitution. The Constitution is the highest law of the land, and all other laws must be in line with it. If a law goes against the Constitution, it is considered unconstitutional and cannot be enforced.

Another example is in sports. In basketball, the rule of recognition is the rulebook. The rulebook tells players and referees what is allowed and what is not allowed during a game. If a player breaks a rule, they may be penalized or even ejected from the game.

Overall, the rule of recognition is an important concept in legal theory that helps ensure that laws are fair and just.
