Analogia legis is formally recognized in the civil codes of some jurisdictions, including that of Portugal, which provides that "cases for which the law does not provide shall be governed by the norm applicable to similar cases".[5]

However, although the distinction between analogia legis and analogia juris is traditional, some authorities have argued that there is no tenable distinction between them, as both involve the same interpretive techniques.[6]
