Special Issue on Legal Theory and Jurisprudence

Legal Theory and Jurisprudence explores the fundamental principles, concepts, and philosophies underlying law and its application in society. This field examines the nature, purpose, and interpretation of legal rules, addressing questions of justice, rights, duties, and the relationship between law and morality. It integrates perspectives from philosophy, sociology, political science, and ethics to analyze legal reasoning, legislative processes, judicial decision-making, and the evolution of legal systems. By understanding the theoretical foundations of law, legal theory and jurisprudence provide a framework for shaping fair, coherent, and effective legal institutions and policies in diverse social contexts.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Legal Theory and Jurisprudence. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
