The word 'jurisprudence' is derived from the Latin word for 'law' and which other word?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. The unit traces 'jurisprudence' to 'juris' (law) and 'prudence' (knowledge).
2. So jurisprudence literally means 'knowledge of law'.
3. It is the study of the science of law — its concepts, principles and philosophies.
4. It is distinct from substantive law (rights, duties) and procedural law (process).
5. So 'prudence' (knowledge) is the second Latin root.
