Legal Theory & Philosophy

Legal theory and philosophy study the fundamental questions about law, such as what laws are, why they matter, and how they should be applied. It explores concepts like justice, rights, and authority, examining how laws are created, interpreted, and enforced. This field helps us understand the purpose of laws, the nature of legal obligations, and the ethical principles that underpin legal systems. It provides a deeper insight into how societies organize rules and justice, guiding lawmakers, judges, and citizens in making fair and consistent legal decisions.
