	Jurisprudence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jurisprudence is the theory and philosophy of law.
		Socio-political jurisprudence, jurisprudence as documentary of social and political change (e.g., the study of law as it relates to the status of women is a form of socio-political jurisprudence).
		Jurisprudence also includes legal pedagogy, that is, the teaching of law and legal subjects, as far as legal pedagogy concerns the education and role of lawyers.

		Jurisprudence when referring to philosophy of law or legal theory is divided into two major parts: Analytic jurisprudence studies what law 'is' and normative jurisprudence studies what law 'ought to be' both of which study those attributes common to all legal systems.
		Jurisprudence can also refer to case law in common law, which is the law that is established through the decisions of the courts.
		The focus of analytic jurisprudence is using a neutral point of view and descriptive language when referring to the aspects of legal systems.

		Jurisprudence (from Latin: juris prudentia -- by the activity of prudentes; advisors, experts), is the philosophy, science, study, and application of law.
		In modern studies Jurisprudence is both the branch of humanist sciences that studies the law and the complex of legal principles that can be desumed by the sentences.
		Second, it means the philosophy of law, or legal theory, which studies not what the law is in a particular jurisdiction (say, Turkey or the United States) but law in general--i.e.

	Ancient History Sourcebook: Edward Gibbon: The Idea of Roman Jurisprudence
		At Rome, and in the provinces, the duties of the subject, and the intentions of the governor, were proclaimed; and the civil jurisprudence was reformed by the annual edicts of the supreme judge, the praetor of the city.
		The jurisprudence of the first Romans exhibited the scenes of a pantomime; the words were adapted to the gestures, and the slightest error or neglect in the forms of proceeding was sufficient to annul the substance of the fairest claim.
		The books of jurisprudence were interesting to few, and entertaining to none: their value was connected with present use, and they sunk forever as soon as that use was superseded by the innovations of fashion, superior merit, or public authority.

	Therapeutic Jurisprudence in the Courts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Therapeutic jurisprudence is an emerging field of law and social science inquiry that explores the role of the law in fostering therapeutic or antitherapeutic outcomes.
		At one end of the continuum, therapeutic jurisprudence may be practiced by one judge in one courtroom during one case; and at the other end of the continuum, therapeutic jurisprudence may be integrated into the procedures and decision-making throughout an entire trial court system.
		The field of therapeutic jurisprudence is one source of guidance as courts think through the philosophical and the practical issues associated with changes to their role and in what the public expects of the courts.

	Feminist Jurisprudence [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		American feminist jurisprudence is the study of the construction and workings of the law from perspectives which foreground the implications of the law for women and women’s lives.
		Feminist jurisprudence claims that patriarchy (the system of interconnected relations and institutions that oppress women) infuses the legal system and all its workings, and that this is an unacceptable state of affairs.
		Feminist jurisprudence usually frames its responses to traditional legal thought in terms of whether or not the critic is maintaining some commitment to the tradition or some particular feature of it.

		By science is understood that connexion of truths which is founded on principles either evident in themselves or capable of demonstration; a collection of truths of the same kind, arranged in methodical order.
		In a more confined sense, jurisprudence is the practical science of giving a wise interpretation to the laws and making a just application of them to all cases as they arise.
		In this sense, it is the habit of judging the same questions in the same manner and by this course of judgments forming precedents.

	Feminist jurisprudence - Wex

		The result was a jurisprudence that protected the rights of persons as well as any legal system in the modern world and better than most.
		It created a jurisprudence and a set of norms that was the product of centuries of debate in the classroom, in the pages of books, in the courtroom, and in the chambers of legislative authority.
		I would argue that a jurisprudence with roots sunk deeply in the long tradition of human experience and not limited by linguistic, political, cultural, and legal boundaries provides the best hope for a “proper constitution” that will respect the rights of all human beings.

	The Jurisprudence of Polycentric Law
		"Jurisprudence in its widest sense is the science of law."[2] This description leaves ample room for the jurisprudence of non-statist, or "polycentric," law.
		Ignoring the jurisprudence of polycentric law is not rational however; it is simply ignorant.
		[4] Pound calls this the job of "philosophical jurisprudence," which is "one form or side of the science of law, organized by philosophical method and directed chiefly to the ideal element of law and to a philosophical critique of legal institutions, legal doctrines, and legal precepts."

	Jurisprudence Readings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Jurisprudence is a very idiosyncratic enterprise, and so this list of materials will no doubt strike some as eccentric.
		It is my view that jurisprudence (legal theory) should have as its goal the improvement of law and the legal system, and that jurisprudence which does not is unethical.
		The second theme, which is perhaps the pathology of contemporary jurisprudence, is the notion that judges exercise discretion in deciding novel cases, cases which fall in the "gaps" in the law.

	Narrative Jurisprudence—More Introductory Propositions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Of the other contemporary schools of jurisprudence (and we might want to think of them as perspectives or orientations, in contrast to "schools"), it seems fair to say that law and economics scholars have shown no interest in narrative, indeed, economics read most literally might be seen as a non-narrative discipline, if not anti-narrative.
		Feminist jurisprudence and critical race theory, unlike law and economics and critical legal studies, have both embraced stories and narratives, so much so that Richard Delgado (University of Colorado), a critical race theorist and narrativist, at times (annoyingly) claims that narrative jurisprudence arose from the scholarly practices of critical race theorists and feminist scholars.
		Given the way feminist jurisprudence and critical race theory have embraced narrative (in theory and practice), it would be possible to explore both schools of jurisprudence from the perspective of the narratives they have produced and their theoretical writings about narrative.

	Jurisprudence Law Essays and Dissertations
		Austin's notion of law as orders backed by threats of sanctions, with the fundamental legitimacy of the legal system resting on a general 'habit of obedience', was so simplistic that it would have been difficult not to improve on it.
		Teachers of jurisprudence in the United States largely ignored Austinian 'theory', preferring to concentrate attention on what legal rules do, can be made to do, by whom, and for what legitimate reason.
		In The Concept of Law Austin's legal analysis is used not so much as a worthy opponent in debate but as a foil, by contrast with which Hart is able to construct a convincing model of law as a system of rules.

	Defamation Law: Positive Jurisprudence
		The positive jurisprudence of the past fifteen years has protected freedom of expression by denying certain bodies the right to bring suit, allowing heightened criticism of the government and public figures, establishing defenses that help reduce the chilling effect on the media, and requiring sanctions proportionate to the offense.
		Although freedom of expression continues to be seriously abused in many countries, this jurisprudence demonstrates an effort to increase protection of political criticism and sets a model for future international reform.
		According to the standards produced at the symposium, “Criminal defamation laws are frequently abused, being used in cases which do not involve the public interest and as a first, rather than last, resort.”[58] While ordinary people cannot afford to bring prosecutions, politicians and public officials often take advantage of them.
