Sociological Jurisprudence
Sociological Jurisprudence is a legal theory that emphasizes the relationship between law and society. It suggests that laws should reflect social realities and be adapted to the changing needs of society. This approach considers the social context in which laws operate, focusing on how legal rules affect people's lives and social behavior.
This perspective was notably advanced by Roscoe Pound, an American legal scholar, who argued that law should serve social interests and promote justice. By examining the social implications of legal decisions, Sociological Jurisprudence aims to create a more effective and equitable legal system that responds to the dynamics of society.
