2 Course Aims The curricula presence of Jurisprudence & Legal theory is founded on the avowed purpose of introducing the student to the general aspects of the law as an instrument of social policy. In the words of Julius Stone, it is the lawyer s examination of precepts, ideals and techniques of the law in the light derived from the present knowledge in disciplines other than law. Jurisprudence and legal theory are the summation of the knowledge on the nature of legal rules, the underlying meaning of legal concepts and on the essential features of legal systems, and therefore referred to as the philosophy of law. Law as the system of social ordering, gains its reasons and content from the theoretical constructs, and the theoretical constructs themselves are strengthened by the societal development. This symbiotic relationship thus necessitates the study of jurisprudence as an introduction to the first principles of law and beyond. The accumulated wisdom of thinkers and the concepts that have gained a formal structure through their wisdom forms the curricular content for this course. The course structure has been prepared to understand the working of the symbiotic relationship of theoretical constructs and practical issues. Apart from gaining strength with module-specific readings, there are readings drawn from the practice of law, especially the case judgment readings, and this helps the student to found their reasoning on logical premises. It is expected that this course shall give a significant impetus to the student s research interests, apart from being a significant fillip in comprehension and articulation of the knowledge of law. This course has a collection of readings to go along with the topics that explain the various approaches to social ordering that have been attempted in human history. Also included are topics related to the concepts of rights and duties, the sources of law and the techniques of the judicial process. OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE
3 The course on the Jurisprudence & Legal Theory is one of the compulsory courses for LL.M. It has been designed and developed with a view to meet the following objectives 1. Understand the foundations of theoretical knowledge in international law. 2. Appreciate the importance of theoretical constructs in social policy ordering, the role of law as an instrument of such policy activity. 3. Articulate a critique on the rule of law and its nuances in influencing public policy activity. 4. Appreciate the linkages that evolve in this course between theoretical knowledge and policy activity through the readings and case judgments interspersed in this course structure. Week 1 The institution of law is analysed in terms of two concepts indispensable to an understanding of its formal structure and substantive objectives order and justice. Law is seen as an instrument founded on the synthesis of order and justice. Also occupying discussion space in this week would be the distinction between law and other agencies of social control power, ethics and morality. for classroom discussion Bodenheimer, Edgar Jurisprudence, the Philosophy and Method of Law (Delhi: Universal Law Publishing co.
