In this article, Said Halim Pasha’s views on the relationship between law and society will be examined. He was one of the active actors in the process of political, social and legal change that started in the last century of the Ottoman Empire and continued with the Republic. Said Halim, who was an important practitioner with duties in high bureaucratic and political positions on the one hand and he actively pursued his intellectual work on the other, placed the problem of how the state and society could be saved from collapse and dissolution to the center of his studies. In this context, he emphasized the social nature of law and stated that law, as a social institution, is ultimately unique to the society to which it belongs. According to him, laws are the product of each society's own historical and traditional accumulation. For this reason, direct law citations from other societies bring more harm than good. Said Halim insistently mentioned Kanun-i Esasi as an example of this situation, and claimed that Kanun-i Esasi had caused great harm to the Ottoman Empire and society. As an active practitioner and a theoretician, Said Halim focused on social problems, and in this regard worked on law and law-society relations. Therefore, he is one of the important thinkers whose ideas should be taken into account regarding the study of the relationship between society and law in the Turkish context.
