Lectures on Jurisprudence By Dr. Anjali Dixit

This book is about the ‘great words’
of the law. This book is designed to meet the needs of a practitioner,
student, or other person to obtain an understanding of jurisprudence
quickly but comprehensively. It is useful for the law and political
science students.

The study of jurisprudence by our law students has evoked a great
deal of controversy. There are some who take the view that the study
of a subject so abstract can be usefully prescribed only as a part of
the advanced courses of legal studies. Other take the view that an
intelligent approach to the study of all law, weather statute law or
un-codified law, is possible only if it is preceded by a knowledge of
what law is, how it arose and the basic principles which underlie
most systems of law.

The study of law must be given the due place it rightly deserves in
free India. The study should be patronized in every way and every
facility should be given to all those who can and are eager to pursue
advanced study of any branch of law.
This book on Jurisprudence have main object to examination of the
persistent, like law, state, sovereignty, legislative, executive, rights, duties, liabilities, obligations, power, property and persons, as those words are used in various case laws.

The object of this book is not only to explain the principles of Jurisprudence but also of Legal Theories. I trust the book will be useful not only to students in legal institutions, but that it will reach the wider circle of academic and practicing lawyers and others interested in law.
