JURISPRUDENCE

Some important quotes on jurisprudence

1. Jurisprudence is the knowledge of things divine and human; the science of the just and the unjust- Roman jurist Ulpian.

2. The analysis of legal concepts is what jurisprudence meant for the student in the days of my youth-BUCKLAND

3. ‘Jurisprudence’ means ‘lawyer’s extraversion. It is the lawyer’s examination of the precepts, ideas and techniques of the law in the light derived from present knowledge in disciplines other than the law.-JULIUS STONE

4. You will not mistake my meaning or suppose that I deprecate one of the great humane studies if say that we cannot learn law by learning law. If it is to be anything more than more than just a technique it is to be so much more than itself: a part of history, a part of economics a sociology, a part of ethics and philosophy of life- Lord Radcliff

5. Jurisprudence as the “philosophy of positive law” -AUSTIN

6. ‘Jurisprudence’ means a body of ordered knowledge which deals with a particular species of law- PATTERSON
