Abstract
This work aims at proposing a theory on mental models of legal reasoning in Roman Law Tradition. The essay integrates the approaches of legal epistemology, complex sciences, corporate governance, neural networks and mental models in a coherent conceptual theory whose goals are: to explain the way in which legal institutions, and particularly the judicial ones, participate in the construction of social reality (including corruption problems) and highlight some ideas about strategies to intervene in its correct functioning. It is an important step in developing a constructivist legal theory.
