Scope of Sociological Jurisprudence

  Scope of Sociological Jurisprudence By Shagun Mahendroo SOCIOLOGICAL JURISPRUDENCE The study of society, social change and human behaviour is known as sociology and the study of law and the legal perspective of things is known as jurisprudence. The sociological school of law asserts that the law and society are intertwined to each other. This school of thought contends that the law is a social concept since it affects so many people. Sociological jurisprudence focus on studying law by relating it with the society. Features of Sociological School of Law: The Sociological School of Law fully disregards positivism, i.e., sovereign authority, as well as historical jurisprudence.

Sociology and Law

  It can be correctly said that Sociology helps law to better understand society for smoother regulation and formation of laws. Sociology and law are distinct disciplines but at the same time, I feel that law is another aspect of sociology as sociology is the study of society and its people, and it’s the people who create governments and laws to bring about order and productive functionality in the society. Despite being distinct disciplines, the two are interwoven in such a manner that it is difficult to picture a world, one without the other. All and any societal institutions such as family, corporation, organisation et cetera are governed by law to create a semblance of order in every aspect of a persons’ life. Society defines what is expected of a person who is a part of that society, their behaviour, actions, reactions, ethics and morality are guided by what the society deems appropriate and law helps enforce these beliefs. Placement of judicial systems and law enforcement age...

  Judicial process Judicial process is the means through which justice is to be administered and in this process the judges act as an instrument to attain this goal, wherein the judges are expected to nave knowledge- of facts involved and of the law that would apply to the said facts. But the decision arrived at by a judge involves multiple factors in addition to just the logical application or the rule of law to the facts Justice Cardozo's lectures published in a set titled "Nature of Judicial Process" are extremely relevant for this discussion since he mentions the heft responsibility of the judicial rv in the judicial process and in doing so he throws light on the sources that guide a judge and contribute to the final decision arrived at in any given case He first of all imputes on judges to decide cases bv emplovine an objective standard. all the while remaining within the prescribed precincts of the relevant law.
