Abstract
This paper addresses some methodological concerns regarding the identification of customary rules. It presents a brief theory of the ascertainment of exceptions to customary rules and, more specifically, enquires whether the identification of an exception follows the same standards and the same evidentiary threshold as the identification of a brand new customary rule or not.
