Hi, law student here, so glad you're covering Jurisprudence! Pretty sure the person in the picture is St. Thomas Aquinas, the famous priest and philosopher.
Hi there. Actor studying for an MA Law Conversion. I think Context is everything, so I'm interested in any and all aspects of the law. Even if its not something I would use day-to-day, it will give some extra information somewhere that will enhance the other allegedly more practical knowledge.
Jurisprudence is absolutely essential. Rather than study Commercial Law (on which you can pick up more than enough knowledge from reading Atiyah), it should be mandatory. It always was at the Poly I studied night school at then it was removed cynically I think because it was too difficult to understand and those simply taking exams never contended well with it.
4:04 PGDL student here, to be honest, the only place I’ve come across the word ‘jurisprudence’ is in religious studies I took on years ago and, typing this answer before reaching your explanation of the word, I understand jurisprudence to be the … overarching reasoning or philosophy from which legal principles are derived. The word I’m thinking of is ‘usool’ in Arabic which has a similar meaning to ‘principles’. I’d say understanding jurisprudence is important to have a well-rounded understanding of the practice and objectives of law so I think it’s very foundational to the practice, though it may not be the most useful if you’re just looking to get a job and get into commercial or company law lol. I find it interesting, especially since I see parallels in the way ESL is derived with the way Shariah law is derived and developed which is not something I’d expected to find coming into the studies! No idea who the guy in the picture is but I’m guessing Aristotle because I’ve seen a painting of Plato in which he’s depicted completely bald so!
I agree that it isn't necessarily the most important for just getting a job. Trust me, I've seen plenty of undergrads who don't care about this kind of stuff and just want to learn to get their training contracts! Although, i do think it's incredibly important foundational knowledge for everyone regardless of which area you decide to go down
I came from the Civil Law traditional and it is funky, because we call jurisprudence what you call Law, thecollection of cases, ans we call Law per se or Philosophy of Law what you call Jurisprudence, since it is way beyond the work of judges, imply all the usesof law in Govermnent and society
Just a curious wanderer, jurisprudence to me is not a great concept. While I think I understand its purpose, making sure that people are treated equally under the law, so a decision in a specific case is the same across the entirety of the legislative territory, I find it an abomination that it is considered at all. Jurisprudence is the result of judges making decisions in cases. While that is their job, the law itself should be what is followed not some interpretation. Jurisprudence should be unnescessary as the law itself should be clear and not left open to interpretation at all. If at any point a judge creates jurisprudence that other judges then follow I feel the legislative branch under trias politica has failed in its task of legislating properly. Judges are there to "apply" the law, not interpret it. Government is there to legislate, and police is there to enforce / execute the law. Jurisprudence does not fit in that approach other then by interpreting law, and if that takes place the law wasn't clearly written.

Jurisprudence is important in developing law as you get an insight into the theories behind the law.

It's vital, especially for law students. I just registered it for this semester.

Jurisprudence and law are both important.
