ANatural School
BHistorical School

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Sociological School
1. Roscoe Pound's analysis of law as a tool of social engineering is the sociological view.
2. He saw law as balancing competing individual, public and social interests.
3. Duguit and Ihering also fall in the Sociological School.
4. The Realist School (Holmes, Cardozo) defines law in terms of judicial process.
5. So Roscoe Pound is sociological, not realist.
