Spanish term
vinculació (noun form)
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
constitutional law / fundamental rights
The entire phrase is: "la vinculación del juez a la ley". I understand that this means that the judge is bound to adhere to the law. My question is if there is a noun form of "binding/bound" in English. As in (complete the sentence: "the judge's XXX to the law") because the phrase often appears this way in the text.
Of course, I could do acrobatics to reword ("the judge being bound to the law") but I was just wondering if there is a word I am unaware of.
Thanks!!

Legal fulfillment/acting pursuant to the law
Just one option, instead of looking for a specific translation of "vinculación", you can say "the judge's legal fulfillment" or "the judge's acting pursuant to the law"

Comment: "I like "the obligation of the judge acting pursuant to the law" and feels this captures it the best. Thanks to Gema and all responders!"

(the judge being) bound by the law
It is not vital to come up with a noun. It does depend on your sentence, but this might work (i.e. "the fact that the judge is bound by the law").

Spanish term (edited):
(CAT) vinculació(n)
tying (of hands)
We seem to have a Catalan, as opposed to Castilian spelling, as in my previous stabs at the asker's questions out of Catalonia.
Tying of the judge to the law - or his or her hands tied by the law - seems to work better than bonding in general or bondage in particular.
I am - howls of protest in the context given - entering highest CL /confidence level to avert typical British self-effacement and move within the asker's own avowed (Catalan) criteria and parameters for making a categoric glossary entry.

duty (to uphold)
Perhaps this might do the trick for you. I don't think the question of whether there is a noun form of "bind" is relevant here.

Regarding Ormiston's comment about duty and obligation, as I see it, the difference between duty and obligation is negligible, or unimportant. A Google search for " judge's obligation to uphold the law" gets over 1000 results, while the same search for "duty..." gets twice as many. This indicates that the latter occurs more frequently, if nothing else.

Non sequitur. Duty and obligation are largely synonymous here - and "judge's duty to uphold the law" gets twice as many hits in a Google search.

Discussion
-Una de estas cuestiones es el problema de la vinculación de los jueces a la ley.
-La vinculación del juez penal a la ley ya no puede ser entendido como una simple vinculación a lo que dicen las normas jurídicas contenidas en el Código Penal
I understand that I don't need noun for noun. My question is whether there IS a noun in English that I'm unaware of.
Thanks to all for your suggestions!
sustantivo ---> sustantivo
Vale para el caso recordar las clásicas técnicas de traducción de Vinay y Darnelnet (1958), en especial la transposición, en la que una clase de palabras o categoría gramatical reemplaza a otra sin cambiar el significado del mensaje:
adverbio ---> verbo
verbo ---> nombre
verbo ---> preposición
adverbio ---> sustantivo
adjetivo ---> sustantivo
adjetivo ---> verbo
sustantivo ---> participio pasado
participio pasado ---> sustantivo
expresión preposicional ---> adjetivo/adverbio
... etcétera
