Jurisprudential methods
Jurisprudential methods are approaches used to interpret and understand the law. They help in deciding how laws should be applied or developed. Common methods include *analytical jurisprudence*, which examines the logical structure and meaning of legal concepts; *interpretivism*, which focuses on understanding the purpose and values behind laws; *Historical approach*, which looks at laws in the context of their origin and evolution; and *Sociological approach*, which considers how laws impact society and reflect social realities. Together, these methods assist legal scholars and judges in making informed, consistent, and fair legal decisions.
