A quick definition of jurisprudence:

Jurisprudence is the study of law. It has different types, such as analyzing and criticizing laws, comparing laws with other fields of knowledge, revealing the historical and cultural basis of legal concepts, and finding answers to abstract questions about law. There are also different schools of jurisprudence, such as formalism and realism, and positivism and naturalism. Formalists treat law like math or science, while realists believe that judges must balance the interests of the parties and draw an arbitrary line based on their inclinations. Positivists argue that only rules enacted by government are sources of law, while naturalists insist that moral philosophy, religion, human reason, and individual conscience are also parts of the law. Other schools of legal thought include critical legal studies, feminist jurisprudence, law and economics, utilitarianism, and legal pragmatism.

A more thorough explanation:

Jurisprudence is the study, knowledge, or science of law. It is the philosophy of law that seeks to analyze, explain, classify, and criticize entire bodies of law. There are four common types of jurisprudence:

  • The first type analyzes and criticizes entire bodies of law.
  • The second type compares and contrasts law with other fields of knowledge.
  • The third type seeks to reveal the historical, moral, and cultural basis of a particular legal concept.
  • The fourth type focuses on finding the answer to abstract questions about law and how judges decide cases.

There are also different schools of jurisprudence:

  • Formalism treats law like math or science, while legal realism believes that judges must balance the interests of the parties and draw an arbitrary line on one side of the dispute.
  • Positivists argue that there is no connection between law and morality and that the only sources of law are rules that have been expressly enacted by a governmental entity or court of law. Naturalists insist that moral philosophy, religion, human reason, and individual conscience are also integral parts of the law.

Other prominent schools of legal thought include critical legal studies, feminist jurisprudence, law and economics, utilitarianism, and legal pragmatism.

For example, a formalist judge would identify the relevant legal principles, apply them to the facts of a case, and logically deduce a rule that will govern the outcome of the dispute. In contrast, a legal realist judge would balance the interests of the parties and draw an arbitrary line on one side of the dispute based on their political, economic, and psychological inclinations. A positivist would argue that the only sources of law are rules that have been expressly enacted by a governmental entity or court of law, while a naturalist would insist that moral philosophy, religion, human reason, and individual conscience are also integral parts of the law.

@MrThickRopes: Maybe Bama. I just learned this actress named Sydney Sweeny has the same birthday as me down to the year and she has a bunch of songs that are popular right now. Busy with that. Plus last night I smoked weed for the first time and had 3 bowls so my mind has been groggy all day.
Man who the fuck is this person Sydney Sweeney. I think I heard her song Bed Chem before but man this is a surprise. How do people get so famous by doing practically nothing???
