Jurisprudence means knowledge of law or skill in law. Jurisprudence is a systematic and scientific study of the existing rules. Jurisprudence is also called as the philosophy of law. Various jurists expressed their various thoughts about jurisprudence. Each legal thought is based on certain basic assumptions about law. The schools of jurisprudence explain about law, its nature, functions, basis, adaptation, improvement and reform. The study of jurisprudence provides theoretical foundation on the principles of law. Jurisprudence provides clear conception about the legal philosophy and enables us to discover legal fallacies. It teaches the lawyers, law students, judges, jurists and legislators to think legally and make them efficient in their activities. Jurisprudence is a study not of the law of a particular country but of the general notion of law itself. As per Austin's view, the matter of jurisprudence is positive law set by political superiors to political inferiors. It forms the basis for legal rules.
