A quick definition of normative jurisprudence:

Normative jurisprudence, also known as natural law, is a set of moral and legal principles that come from a universal understanding of human nature or divine justice, rather than from laws made by governments or courts. It is based on the idea that there are certain fundamental rights and wrongs that apply to everyone, regardless of where they live or what laws they follow. Natural law seeks to organize the ideal element in law, critique old ideals, and give a basis for formulating new ones. It is a philosophical approach to law that provides a reasoned canon of values and a technique of applying it.

A more thorough explanation:

Normative jurisprudence is also known as natural law. It is a philosophical system of legal and moral principles that are believed to come from a universal understanding of human nature or divine justice, rather than from legislative or judicial action. It is a moral law that is based on principles of right and wrong.

For example, many ethical teachings are based on natural law. This means that certain actions are considered right or wrong based on a universal understanding of what is good or bad. Natural law is often used to argue against laws or practices that are seen as unjust or immoral.

Overall, normative jurisprudence seeks to organize the ideal element in law, critique old received ideals, and give a basis for formulating new ones. It provides a reasoned canon of values and a technique of applying it.
