Jurisprudence is the scientific study of law through a philosophical lens.
The aim of jurisprudence is to critically analyze the purpose and
application of the law. It is a historical, social, and cultural movement
with the inherent contradiction that analysis of the law and understanding
of its politics will unravel and reveal the ‘truth’ behind legal reasoning
and the exercise of legal power, even while at the same time admitting there
is no such thing. It is hoped through legal scholarship that a deeper
understanding of the law and the relationships of power it constructs can
better society by enabling jurists to predict what the law is and what it
ought to be given its unpredictable and uncertain nature.
