Jurisprudence

INTRODUCTION Sociological jurisprudence encompasses all the aspects of the interactions between law and society. There are innumerable connections between law and society: every branch of human learning, from physics, chemistry and medicine to philosophy, religion and psychology, produces knowledge about law and society. Sociology borrows from all these fields and sociological jurisprudence borrows form sociology. Of all the branches of learning, social sciences had the most influence, which…

I believe that these two justices’ jurisprudence, or philosophy of law, is shaped by their political ideologies. This is not to say, however, that I believe that the two justices’ political ideologies affect their ability to come to objective decisions since ultimately, their most important task is to remain impartial. The two SCOTUS justices are on the opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. In addition to their opposite ideologies, the pair has two completely different philosophies of law…

Nursing Jurisprudence is the department of law that collects all the different legal rules and the principles that affect the practice of nursing and includes: “the study, but also the interpretation of all these rules and principles and their application in the regulation of the practice of nursing” (Nursing Crib).

Contemporary Jurisprudence: Make Up Assignment for Seminar 2 My group presented the text of Dworkin: Dworkin tries to find a middle ground between Hart and Fullers’ theories, building his jurisprudence on an attack of Hart’s claim that the law consists only of rules. Like Fuller, Dworkin thinks that the law is inherently interpretative. Dworkin contends that in reality the materials available to judges are wider than only rules, and that in practice judges use principles and background…

Unlike the inquisitorial systems found in Europe, American jurisprudence is based on adversarial litigation and “winning.” This adversarial system fosters an environment that has led to incivility amongst lawyers, their clients, and tribunals. Incivility has grown to be an epidemic amongst lawyers, and has caused state and national bar associations to acknowledge and mitigate it. Civility is a necessary quality of my professional identity for the following reasons. First, I value productive,…

Far too often, this debate splits along ideological lines, with progressive commentators praising landmark decisions such as Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges, and conservative commentators lamenting decisions such as Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Lawrence v. Texas. Regardless of one’s ideological…

I have been in speech ever since I was in fourth grade. I really took to it, and found out that I was a really good public speaker. Through Speech I have honed my public speaking skills. I have to do multiple things in order to get ready for a speech meet including personal hygiene, wardrobe, and pre round exercises. The first thing that I do to get ready for a speech meet in the morning is personal hygiene. Personal hygiene includes showering, cologne and deodorant, and the most important: my…

Aristotle Book II and Book V It is Aristotle’s claim that justice is the greatest of the moral virtues. To be just one has to perform acts not only for one’s own good but for the good of others (whether that is the government, your neighbor or another individual). Attaining a character of justice only comes by habit and the activities one performs. Injustice can be differentiated from justice as: acts performed to the detriment of oneself and others, and composes the entirety of vice.…
