A quick definition of philosophy of law:

Philosophy of law is the study of the fundamental elements of a legal system. It asks questions like "What is law?" and "Where does law come from?" It also looks at the ethical significance of the law and how it affects society. There are different types of philosophy of law, such as analytical jurisprudence, feminist jurisprudence, and sociological jurisprudence. It is important to study philosophy of law to understand how the law works and how it affects people's lives.

A more thorough explanation:

Philosophy of law is the study of the fundamental elements of a legal system, including its principles, concepts, and origins. It is concerned with the theoretical and ethical aspects of law, rather than its practical application.

General jurisprudence: The scholarly study of the law, legal theory, and legal systems generally.
Historical jurisprudence: The branch of legal philosophy concerned with the history of the first principles and conceptions of a legal system.
Positivist jurisprudence: A theory that denies validity to any law that is not derived from or sanctioned by a sovereign or some other determinate source.
Sociological jurisprudence: A philosophical approach to law stressing the actual social effects of legal institutions, doctrines, and practices.

These examples illustrate how philosophy of law can be applied to different aspects of legal systems, from their historical development to their social impact. By studying these aspects, philosophers of law seek to understand the nature and purpose of law, and to evaluate its ethical significance and adequacy.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.
