Value of Jurisprudence: Chanakya National Law University, Patna
Jurisprudence is the theory and philosophy of law. It has been derived from a
Latin word ‘jurisprudentia, which in its widest sense means ‘knowledge of law’.
Jurisprudence signifies knowledge of law and its application. Scholars of
Jurisprudence, or legal theorists (including legal philosophers and social theorists
of law), hope to obtain a deeper understanding of the nature of law, of legal
reasoning, legal systems and of legal institutions. Modern jurisprudence began in
the 18th century and was focused on the first principles of the natural law, civil law,
and the law of nations.1 General jurisprudence can be broken into categories both
by the types of questions scholars seek to address and by the theories of
jurisprudence, or schools of thought, regarding how those questions are best to be
answered.
