British Legal Realism

British Legal Realism is a legal philosophy that emphasizes how judges' personal beliefs, societal context, and practical considerations influence their decisions, rather than relying solely on rigid legal rules or formal logic. It suggests that law is not a fixed set of rules but is shaped by real-world factors, including social, economic, and political influences. This approach highlights the importance of understanding the actual behavior of courts and judges in practice, recognizing that legal outcomes often depend on interpretations and contextual factors rather than abstract principles alone.
