Definición

  • Jurisprudence is the study of law in its broadest forms. Historically, jurisprudence has been concerned with the answer of two questions—one descriptive, one normative: What is law and what is justice (or to what ends should law be put)? Answers to these questions in different times and different nations have come not only from legislators, judges, and lawyers practicing law but also from scholars who have inquired about the nature of law and observed law in practice.
