Jurisprudence is concerned with law as it is

Q.  'Jurisprudence is concerned with law as it is' comment. [2021 - 4 marks]

Jurisprudence is the philosophy and theory of law. It is concerned primarily with what the law is and what it ought to be. This includes questions of how individual and social relations are understood in legal terms, and of the values in and of law. Work that is counted as jurisprudence is mostly philosophical, but it includes work that also belongs to other disciplines, such as sociology, history, politics and economics.
