German Jurisprudence

German jurisprudence refers to the philosophy and theoretical study of law in Germany, focusing on understanding the nature, principles, and development of legal systems. It emphasizes the interpretive function of law, the role of legal concepts, and how laws reflect societal values. Historically, it has shaped legal thought through figures like Immanuel Kant and Herman Kantorowicz, blending philosophical inquiry with legal analysis. German jurisprudence seeks to clarify the conceptual foundations of law, guiding how laws are created, interpreted, and applied within a coherent and systemic framework.
