Preferred term

sociological jurisprudence  

Definition

  • Sociological jurisprudence is often associated with Roscoe Pound (1870–1964) and through him with the American legal realist movement. However, there are historical and theoretical reasons for including several European scholars, such as the Polish-Russian jurist Leon Petrazycki (1867–1931) and the Austrian jurist Eugen Ehrlich (1862–1922), under this rubric.
