Jurisprudence is the study of the theory and philosophy of law. The subject, in its entirety, differs from other social sciences. This has given rise to several debates with regard to the nature of jurisprudence as a science vis-à-vis its nature as art.
To help students become proficient in the study of Jurisprudence, Legal Bites has created a comprehensive course consisting of 5 modules and an additional section which contains well-researched and informative articles on a range of topics.
The study material provides detailed insight into all three branches of jurisprudence: analytical, sociological, and theoretical. By the end of this course, readers will be able to understand the fundamentals of law, and gain the necessary legal acumen to interpret and familiarize themselves with legal systems and thought.
