The aim of this work is to analyze the contemporary idea of subjective well-being as equivalent to the classical notion of happiness. The parameters that derive from this subjective well-being are examined as well, in an effort to formulate a relationship with the law, which is understood as the entire body of normative prescriptions in force in a community. With that end in mind, the traditional Aristotelian notion of happiness is summarized to compare the differences between it and the idea of subjective well-being, the development of which occupies the body of this work. The conclusions point to the relationship with the effects – for understanding the law - that are derived from the methodologies related to the notion of subjective well-being.
