About Jurisprudence
Jurisprudence examines the nature, purpose and sources of law through the ideas of justice, rights, duties, sovereignty, liability and legal personality. It compares natural law, analytical positivism, historical, sociological and realist approaches, and considers how courts interpret legal rules, distinguish law from morality and resolve conflicts between competing principles.
