 | | The word jurisprudence derives from the Latin term juris prudentia, whichmeans "the study, knowledge, or science of law." In the United States jurisprudence commonly means the philosophy of law. |
 | | The third type of jurisprudence seeks to reveal the historical, moral, and cultural basis of a particular legal concept. |
 | | Critical legal studies, feminist jurisprudence, law and economics, utilitarianism, and legal pragmatism are but a few of them. |
