To build useful legal reasoning systems for the future society and to also approach the genuine science of laws, the logical structure of the laws should be precisely clarified so that the relevant legal knowledge bases (LKB) and exact theories of laws can be constructed. This paper clarifies the internal and the external logical structure of legal sentences. The internal structure is what kinds of internal structures the minimal units of legal sentences themselves have. The external structure of legal sentences is how those legal sentences are united with each other to constitute a legal system.
