ABSTRACT
Jurisprudence is the science of Law, the statement and systematic arrangement of the rules followed by the courts and of the principles involved in those rules. There are certain treatises, many of considerable merit, dealing with those facts, likely to arise in litigation, with which the members of certain professions or trades are or ought to be familiar; such books are often called treatises on Jurisprudence. Comparative Jurisprudence has for its object the systematic comparison of the Law of two or more countries or organizations, for the purpose of discovering the elements of agreement and difference. General Jurisprudence has sometimes been declared to be the science of the necessary principles of the Law in all countries. In General Jurisprudence, the only deontological question excluded from consideration is what ought to be the Law on those points where the Law is in fact uniform in all human communities.
