  Law and Ideology (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Ideologies are neither true nor false but are a set of socially conditioned ideas that provide a truth that people, both the advantaged and the disadvantaged, want to hear.
Ideology emerges as one kind of realist explanation, where judicial decisions are the effect of political ideas, be they of the judge, the legal profession more generally, societal elites, or majority public opinion.
The ideology view concedes to the positivist, for example, that law emerges from the practices of society, though the practices are extra-legal -- political, economic and social -- rather than the practices of institutional facts internal to a legal system.
