FIELD OF STUDY: JURISPRUDENCE

The word jurisprudence is derived from the Latin word jurisprudentia which in its widest sense, means knowledge of the law. These four sources of law are the United States Constitution, federal and state statutes, administrative regulations, and case law. Bentham is called as Father of Jurisprudence.
The main difference between Law and Jurisprudence is that the Law is a system of rules and guidelines, generally backed by governmental authority and Jurisprudence is a theoretical study of law, by philosophers and social scientists. Jurisprudence may be divided into three branches. They are analytical, sociological, and theoretical. The analytical branch articulates axioms, defines terms, and prescribes the methods that best enable one to view the legal order as an internally consistent, logical system. In the federal courts, jurisprudence is often used to help make rulings on difficult cases. It deals with the fundamental principles on which rests the superstructure of law. 
The concept of jurisprudence basically helps in cultivating one’s own ideas in relation to a particular theory. In abstract jurisprudence is a subject whose knowledge is the basis and the foundation of the whole legal studies. The knowledge and skills gained from studying jurisprudence facilitate students to analyse both sides of complex situations or problems and to devise the best solution based on strong reasoning and critical thinking.
