This article has two aims. First, it presents the illuminating recent work of Patricia Mindus on arbitrariness, in which the author completes mainly two tasks. The first task consists of a conceptual distinction among the notions of arbitrariness in different semantic areas, particularly in philosophy and law. The second task consists of presenting a typology distinguishing different uses of the notion in law. Second, I shall present some criticism, as well as provide reasons arguing for the incorrectness of some of the uses presented.
