CONCEPT, NATURE, AND SCOPE OF JURISPRUDENCE

CONCEPT, NATURE, AND SCOPE OF JURISPRUDENCE

For many, the law is a collection of “thou shalts” and “thou shalt nots”—a rigid set of rules found in thick, dusty volumes. However, to the legal scholar, the law is a living, breathing organism. The heartbeat of that organism is Jurisprudence. Often called the “grammar of law,” jurisprudence is the study that allows us to look past the written word of a statute to understand the soul of justice itself.

DIMENSIONS OF THE JUDICIAL PROCESS

DIMENSIONS OF THE JUDICIAL PROCESS

The judicial process is often viewed as a simple straight line: a crime is committed, a trial happens, and a judgment is passed. However, for those within the legal sphere, it is a multi-dimensional architecture designed to balance power, ensure fairness, and uphold the rule of law.

VOID AGREEMENTS AND QUASI-CONTRACTS

VOID AGREEMENTS AND QUASI-CONTRACTS
