Ans.

Definitions by: Austin, Holland, Salmond Jurisprudence is the study of theory of law.  In Latin ‘Jurisprudentia’- Knowledge of Law. Legal theorists speak of nature of law, of legal reasoning, legal systems and of legal institutions. Modern jurisprudence began in the 18th century and was focused on the first principles of the natural law, civil law, and the law of nations. Three primary schools of thought in general jurisprudence. Natural law is the idea that there are rational objective limits to the power of legislative rulers. The foundations of law are accessible through human reason and it is from these laws of nature that human-created laws gain whatever force they have. Legal positivism, it holds that there is no necessary connection between law and morality and that the force of law comes from social domination or hierarchy.  Legal realism  argues that the real world practice of law is actual law; what legislators, judges, and executives do is what is law. Jeremy Bentham is known as Father of Jurisprudence. Bentham distinguished: 1. Law as it is Expository Approach Command of Sovereign. 2. Law as it ought to be Censorial Approach Morality of Law. Utilitarianism: How much pleasure or pain does the law bring?  Man is a pleasure seeker.  Laissez-faire: Minimum interference of law in economic life of the citizen.
