Описание: Complete Masterclass: Jurisprudence - From Definitions to Modern Schools
Welcomps intensive academic session on the foundation of Legal Theory.
Jurisprudence is often described as the "Eye of Law." Without understanding its roots, nature, and various schools of thought, a legal professional’s education remains incomplete. In this comprehensive one-shot lecture, I break down the most complex aspects of Jurisprudence into clear, understandable concepts for students, researchers, and judiciary aspirants.

📚 What is Covered in This Lecture?
This video is a consolidated guide designed to provide a 360-degree view of the subject. We move from the foundational definitions to the critical schools of thought that govern modern legal systems.
1. Definition, Nature, and Scope
We begin by exploring what Jurisprudence actually represents. Is it a science? Is it philosophy? We examine the etymology (Juris + Prudentia) and how its scope has expanded from ancient Roman law to modern global legalities. We analyze the viewpoints of great jurists like Salmond, Holland, and Keeton to understand the "Science of First Principles of Civil Law."
2. The Importance of Jurisprudence
Why do we study this subject? It is not just academic; it is the grammar that allows lawyers to interpret statutes. We discuss its practical utility in lawmaking, judicial interpretation, and its role as a bridge between law and other social sciences like sociology and ethics.
3. The Natural Law School
Explore the oldest school of legal thought. From the 'Divine Law' of the Greeks and Romans to the 'Social Contract' theories and the modern revival of Natural Law. We discuss the concept of justice being inherent in nature and the eternal quest for "Right Reason."
4. The Analytical (Imperative) School
Focusing on "Law as it is" (Positum). This segment covers the revolutionary ideas of John Austin—the Father of English Jurisprudence—and Jeremy Bentham. We analyze the Command Theory, the role of the Sovereign, and the crucial separation of Law from Morality.
5. The Realist School
A look at the law in reality, not just on paper. We contrast 'Law in Books' vs. 'Law in Action.' This section covers the American and Scandinavian perspectives, focusing on the role of courts, the mindset of judges, and how social factors influence judicial decisions.
