We define the interpretation as a spiritual activity necessary for the interpretation of every cultural phenomenon such as literary texts, musical and visual works while we are right to use different types of interpretation of legal norms and other legal acts. Interpreting right is one of the stages of applying legal norms (besides determining and filling in legal gaps). Certain standards are not directly applicable for a variety of objective and subjective reasons (language, dynamics of social and economic relations, and the organization of formal sources of rights) and need to be interpreted to apply them as effectively as possible. It is impossible to encompass all socially relevant situations, primarily because of human creativity, as in any legal system where no lawyer can follow and anticipate all socially relevant situations for the sake of the freedom and nature of a man who constantly finds new ways of life, new technologies and constant change of lifestyle. For these reasons, any norm or legal provision may be interpreted differently, so the role of lawyers in practice (lawyers, judges) and legal theories to interpret legal norms with regard to specific cases, thus reconstructing the legal norm as well as the legal system as a whole. Regarding the subject of interpretation, apart from the law or legal texts, we must also consider legal affairs such as contracts and decrees that are also subject to interpretation. The subject of interpretation is not a definite standard because it is only defined after interpretation, even if a legal status is clearly and exhaustively stated in the law. The above-mentioned interpreters can be used with more types of interpreting to reach the best solution (linguistic, target, systematic, logical interpretation). In this paper we will look at all the above mentioned types of interpretation as well as subjects and objects of interpretation with reference to the jurisprudence of the Republic of Croatia.
