Jurisprudence is the eye of law
The term Jurisprudence is derived from Latin words Juris Prudentia. Juris means law, Prudentia means Knowledge or skill. Jurisprudence means Knowledge of law or skill in law.
According to Harald J Laskey, jurisprudence is the eye of law. Eyes are an important part of body without which we will not be able to see anything. Similarly knowledge or skills of law help us to look into the facts, analyse them and find out the true essence of the legal situation. This is the reason Jurisprudence is compared with eyes.
Holland observed that jurisprudence throw light on the basic ideas and the fundamental principles of law in a given society. Jurisprudence helps the judges and lawyers in ascertaining true meaning of laws passed by the legislature by providing the rules of interpretation. To become successful lawyer or judge jurisprudential background is necessary.
