Virtue Jurisprudence

Virtue Jurisprudence is an approach to understanding law that emphasizes the moral qualities, virtues, and character of the legal system and its practitioners. It suggests that laws should promote virtues like justice, honesty, and fairness, and that judges and lawmakers should act with moral integrity. Rather than focusing solely on written rules or consequences, this perspective considers how laws reflect and cultivate virtuous behavior essential for a just society. It links law to moral development, aiming to foster a community where virtuous qualities underpin legal principles and practices.
