(legal) model Explanation: Another possibility. I think "figura" here must mean "figura jurídica", and I see it as a combination of a legal concept, an institutional structure and a paradigm. I feel "model" combines these implications quite well, particularly since it's saying that this aspect of the commission is unprecedented. It would probably work without "legal", but I think I'd include it. "That this house calls on the Attorney-General to send a reference to the Victorian Law Reform Commission to examine the most appropriate legal model for an anticorruption commission for Victoria." http://vicmps.greens.org.au/content/establishing-victorias-f... "Saddam's trial creates a new legal model [in] International law" http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-96220270.html |
