Course Description
Jurisprudence-I introduces students to different schools of legal thought laying foundations for a theoretical approach to issues related to law. The first part of the course engages with natural law and positivist legal theories offering a comparison between these contradicting traditions. The course, then, studies Kelsen's pure theory of law and introduces students to the works of American and Scandinavian legal realists. The course concludes with a focus upon critical approaches to legal theory analyzing the school of critical legal theory and the works of its contemporary proponents. The course supplements this focus by taking into account feminist, post-modern, and post-colonial ideas on law and its functions within the society.
