SUB-PAGES
The Law (from the late Old English lagu of
probable North Germanic origin) is a set of rules or
norms of conduct which mandate, forbid or permit
specified relationships among people and organizations,
intended to provide methods for ensuring the impartial treatment of such
people, and provide punishments for those who do not
follow the established rules of conduct.
Philosophy of Law (or
Jurisprudence) aims to
understand from a philosophical perspective the fundamental nature of law, and to analyze
its purpose, structure, and application, leading to an
understanding of the kind of power that it exercises and its role
in human societies. In particular, it focuses on
the rules of truth and evidence that determine judgments
in the law.
Critical Legal Studies:
Sociology of Law is interested in law
as a social phenomenon, that is, in the social effects of legal
institutions, doctrines, and practices and vice versa.
