The New Jurisprudence: The Grammar of Modern Law (Tagore Law Lectures) by P B Mukharji and N L Mitra – 2nd Edition 2025 (Reprint)

Description

Jurisprudence meant originally the study of the first principles of the natural law, the civil law and the law of nations. In the more modern view it includes study of the general or fundamental elements of a particular legal system, as opposed to its practical and concrete details. It addresses the questions about law that an intelligent layperson of speculative bent, not necessarily a lawyer, might think particularly interesting. What is law? Where does law come from? What is the purpose of law? Spectrum of the workBy the passage of time society changes rapidly. Many laws get promulgated, repelled or amended.
