Jurisprudence in Europe
Definition of Jurisprudence
The science of law. ” The philosophical aspect of the knowledge of law” (Cicero). ” The knowledge of things human and divine, the science of the just and the unjust ” (Ulpian).
Jurisprudence as a formal science was developed in England by Hobbes, Bentham and Austin. Sir Henry Maine instituted the study of the natural history of law.
Modern developments are in the direction of the study of comparative jurisprudence; ” to aim at discovering the principles regulating the development of legal systems, with a view to explain the origin of institutions and to study the conditions of their life ” (Vinogradoff). See Law
