Program Summary

Jurisprudence and private law as a course provides an in-depth exploration of legal theory and the fundamental principles governing private legal relationships. It introduces students to the philosophical foundations of law, examining various schools of thought such as natural law, positivism, realism, and critical legal studies. Through this theoretical framework, students gain a deeper understanding of how legal systems function, the nature of legal reasoning, and the role of law in society. The course also delves into private law, which regulates interactions between individuals and entities, covering key areas such as contract law, tort law, property law, and family law. It explores how private legal rights and obligations are created, enforced, and interpreted within different legal traditions. Students analyze landmark cases, statutory provisions, and legal doctrines to understand the application of private law principles in real-world scenarios. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, legal interpretation, and comparative legal analysis, equipping students with the skills to assess legal issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The course prepares students for further legal studies or professional practice by fostering analytical skills and a nuanced appreciation of the relationship between law, morality, and justice.
