The following is a '''list of episodes''' for the long-running [[Peabody Award|Peabody]] and [[Emmy Award|Emmy]] Award-winning U.S. [[medical drama]] ''[[ER (TV series)|ER]]''.
[[Image:CourtGavel.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Philosophers of law ask "what is law?" and "what should it be?"]]
'''Jurisprudence''' is the [[theory]] and [[philosophy]] of [[law]]. Scholars of jurisprudence, or legal philosophers, hope to obtain a deeper understanding of the nature of law, of legal reasoning, [[legal systems]] and of legal institutions. As jurisprudence has developed, there are three main aspects with which scholarly writing engages:
* '''[[Natural law]]''' is the idea that there are unchangeable laws of nature which govern us, and that our laws and institutions should try to align with this natural law.
* '''Analytic jurisprudence''' asks questions distinctive to legal philosophy like, "What is law?" "What are the criteria for legal validity?" or "What is the relationship between law and morality?" and other such questions that legal philosophers may engage.
* '''[[Normative jurisprudence]]''' asks what law ought to be. It is close to [[political philosophy]], and includes questions of whether one ought to obey the law, on what grounds law-breakers might properly be punished, the proper uses and limits of regulation, how judges ought to decide cases.


[[:Category:ER episodes|Some episodes]] have separate, more detailed summaries.
Modern jurisprudence and philosophy of law is dominated today primarily by Western academics. The ideas of the Western legal tradition have become so pervasive throughout the world that it is tempting to see them as universal. Historically, however, many philosophers from other traditions have discussed the same questions, from Islamic scholars to the ancient Greeks.


As of [[September 25]], [[2008]], '''310''' episodes have been broadcast.
==Etymology==
The Latin word ''juris'' is the genitive form of ''jus'' meaning "law." So, ''juris'' means "of law" or "legal." ''Prudentia'', meaning "knowledge" in Latin, translates into English as "prudence." The native English word is "wisdom," which originally also meant "knowledge."


==History of jurisprudence==
==Season 1: 1994–1995==
{{main|ER (season 1)}}
[[Image:Oldbaileylondon-900.jpg|thumb|The Central Criminal Court of England and Wales]]
{{:ER (season 1)}}
''Jurisprudence'' already had this meaning in [[Ancient Rome]], even if at its origins the discipline was a monopoly of the [[College of Pontiffs]] (''Pontifex''), which retained an exclusive power of judgment on facts, being the only experts (''periti'') in the ''[[jus]]'' of [[traditional law]] (''mos maiorum'', a body of [[oral law]]s and customs verbally transmitted "by father to son"). Pontiffs indirectly created a body of laws by their pronunciations (''[[sentence (law)|sententiae]]'') on single concrete (judicial) cases.


==Season 2: 1995–1996==
Their sentences were supposed to be simple interpretations of the traditional customs, but effectively it was an activity that, apart from formally reconsidering for each case what precisely was traditionally in the legal habits, soon turned also to a more equitative interpretation, coherently adapting the law to the newer social instances. The law was then implemented with new evolutive ''Institutiones'' (legal concepts), while remaining in the traditional scheme. Pontiffs were replaced in 3rd century BC by a laical body of ''prudentes''. Admission to this body was conditional upon proof of competence or experience.
{{main|ER (season 2)}}
{{:ER (season 2)}}


==Season 3: 1996–1997==
Under the [[Roman Republic]], schools of law were created, and the activity constantly became more academic. In the age from the early [[Roman Empire]] to the 3rd century, a relevant literature was produced by some notable groups including the [[Proculians]] and [[Sabinians]]. The degree of scientific depth of the studies was unprecedented in ancient times and reached still unrivaled peaks of skill. It is about this activity that it has been said that Romans had developed an [[art]] out of the law. {{weasel-inline}}
{{main|ER (season 3)}}
{{:ER (season 3)}}


==Season 4: 1997–1998==
After the 3rd century, ''Juris prudentia'' became a more bureaucratic activity, with few notable authors. It was during the [[Byzantine Empire]] (5th century) that legal studies were once again undertaken in depth, and it is from this cultural movement that [[Justinian I|Justinian]]'s [[Corpus Juris Civilis]] was born.

{{:ER (season 4)}}


==Season 5: 1998–1999==
==Natural law==
{{Main|Natural law}}
{{main|ER (season 5)}}
{{:ER (season 5)}}
Natural law theory asserts that there are laws that are immanent in nature, to which enacted laws should correspond as closely as possible. This view is frequently summarised by the maxim ''an unjust law is not a true law'', in which 'unjust' is defined as contrary to natural law. Natural law is closely associated with morality and, in historically influential versions, with the intentions of God. To oversimplify its concepts somewhat, natural law theory attempts to identify a moral compass to guide the lawmaking power of the state and to promote 'the good'. Notions of an objective moral order, external to human legal systems, underlie natural law. What is right or wrong can vary according to the interests one is focused upon. Natural law is sometimes identified with the slogan that "an unjust law is no law at all", but as [[John Finnis]], the most important of modern natural lawyers has argued, this slogan is a poor guide to the classical [[Thomism|Thomist]] position.


==Season 6: 1999–2000==
===Aristotle===
{{main|ER (season 6)}}
[[Image:Francesco Hayez 001.jpg|thumb|left|Aristotle, by Francesco Hayez]]
{{Main|Aristotle}}
{{:ER (season 6)}}
Aristotle is often said to be the father of natural law.<ref>Shellens, "Aristotle on Natural Law."</ref> Like his philosophical forefathers, [[Socrates]] and [[Plato]], [[Aristotle]] posited the existence of [[natural justice]] or natural right (''dikaion physikon'', ''δικαιον φυσικον'', [[Latin]] ''ius naturale''). His association with natural law is due largely to the interpretation given to him by [[Thomas Aquinas]].<ref>Jaffa, ''Thomism and Aristotelianism''.</ref> This was based on Aquinas' conflation of natural law and natural right, the latter of which Aristotle posits in Book V of the ''[[Nicomachean Ethics]]'' (= Book IV of the ''[[Eudemian Ethics]]''). Aquinas' influence was such as to affect a number of early translations of these passages,<ref>H. Rackham, trans., ''Nicomachean Ethics'', Loeb Classical Library; J. A. K. Thomson, trans. (revised by Hugh Tedennick), ''Nicomachean Ethics'', Penguin Classics.</ref> though more recent translations render them more literally.<ref>Joe Sachs, trans., ''Nicomachean Ethics'', Focus Publishing</ref>


==Season 7: 2000–2001==
Aristotle notes that [[natural justice]] is a species of political justice, viz. the scheme of [[distributive justice|distributive]] and [[restorative justice|corrective justice]] that would be established under the best political community;<ref>''Nicomachean Ethics'', Bk. V, ch. 6&ndash;7.</ref> were this to take the form of law, this could be called a natural law, though Aristotle does not discuss this and suggests in the ''Politics'' that the best regime may not rule by law at all.<ref>''Politics'', Bk. III, ch. 16.</ref>
{{main|ER (season 7)}}
{{:ER (season 7)}}


==Season 8: 2001–2002==
The best evidence of Aristotle's having thought there was a natural law comes from the ''[[Rhetoric (Aristotle)|Rhetoric]]'', where Aristotle notes that, aside from the "particular" laws that each people has set up for itself, there is a "common" law that is according to nature.<ref>''Rhetoric'' 1373b2&ndash;8.</ref> The context of this remark, however, suggests only that Aristotle advised that it could be rhetorically advantageous to appeal to such a law, especially when the "particular" law of ones' own city was averse to the case being made, not that there actually was such a law;<ref>Shellens, "Aristotle on Natural Law," 75&ndash;81</ref> Aristotle, moreover, considered two of the three candidates for a universally valid, natural law provided in this passage to be wrong.<ref>"Natural Law," ''International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences''.</ref> Aristotle's theoretical paternity of the natural law tradition is consequently disputed.

===Sharia and Fiqh===
==Season 9: 2002–2003==
{{main|ER (season 9)}}
[[Image:FirstSurahKoran.jpg|right|thumb|The [[Al-Fatiha|first]] [[sura]] in a Qur'anic manuscript by [[Hattat Aziz Efendi]].]]
{{:ER (season 9)}}
{{main|Sharia|Fiqh}}
Sharia ('''{{lang|ar|شَرِيعَةٌ}}''') refers to the body of [[Islamic]] [[law]]. The term means "way" or "path"; it is the legal framework within which public and some private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a legal system based on [[Islamic]] principles of jurisprudence. Fiqh is the term for Islamic jurisprudence, made up of the rulings of Islamic jurists. A component of Islamic studies, Fiqh expounds the methodology by which Islamic law is derived from primary and secondary sources.


==Season 10: 2003–2004==
Mainstream Islam distinguish ''fiqh'', which means understanding details and inferences drawn by scholars, from ''sharia'' that refers to principles that lie behind the fiqh. Scholars hope that ''fiqh'' and ''sharia'' are in harmony in any given case, but they cannot be sure.<ref>On the Sources of Islamic Law and Practices, The Journal of law and religion [0748-0814] Souaiaia yr:2005 vol:20 iss:1 pg:123</ref>
{{main|ER (season 10)}}
{{:ER (season 10)}}


==Season 11: 2004–2005==
===Thomas Aquinas===
{{main|ER (season 11)}}
[[Image:St-thomas-aquinas.jpg|left|thumb| Thomas Aquinas was the most important Western mediaeval legal scholar]]
{{:ER (season 11)}}
{{Main|Thomas Aquinas}}
Saint Thomas Aquinas [Thomas of Aquin, or Aquino] (c. 1225 &ndash; [[7 March]] [[1274]]) was a [[philosopher]] and [[theology|theologian]] in the [[scholasticism|scholastic]] tradition, known as "Doctor Angelicus, Doctor Universalis". He is the foremost classical proponent of [[natural theology]], and the father of the [[Thomism|Thomistic]] school of philosophy, for a long time the primary philosophical approach of the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. The work for which he is best-known is the ''[[Summa Theologica]]''. One of the thirty-three [[Doctor of the Church|Doctors of the Church]], he is considered by many Catholics to be the Church's greatest theologian. Consequently, many [[Institutions named after Thomas Aquinas|institutions of learning]] have been named after him.


==Season 12: 2005–2006==
Aquinas distinguished four kinds of law. These are the eternal, natural, human, and divine law. Eternal law is the decree of God which governs all creation. [[Natural law]] is the human "participation" in the eternal law and is discovered by reason.<ref>[[Louis Pojman]], ''Ethics'' ([[Belmont, California|Belmont]], [[California|CA]]: Wadsworth Publishing Company, 1995).</ref> Natural law, of course, is based on "first principles":
{{main|ER (season 12)}}
:''. . . this is the first precept of the law, that good is to be done and promoted, and evil is to be avoided. All other precepts of the natural law are based on this . . .''<ref>[http://www.ccel.org/a/aquinas/summa/FS/FS094.html#FSQ94A2THEP1 ''Summa'', Q94a2.]</ref>
{{:ER (season 12)}}
The desire to live and to procreate are counted by Aquinas among those basic (natural) human values on which all human values are based. Human law is [[positive law]]: the natural law applied by governments to societies. Divine law is the specially revealed law in the [[scriptures]].


==Season 13: 2006–2007==
===Thomas Hobbes===
{{main|ER (season 13)}}
[[Image:Thomas Hobbes (portrait).jpg|right|thumb|Thomas Hobbes was an English Enlightenment scholar]]
{{:ER (season 13)}}
{{Main|Thomas Hobbes}}
In his treatise ''[[Leviathan (book)|Leviathan, (1651)]]'', Hobbes expresses a view of natural law as a [[precept]], or general rule, found out by [[reason]], by which a man is forbidden to do that which is destructive of his life, or takes away the means of preserving the same; and to omit that by which he thinks it may best be preserved. Hobbes was a [[social contract|social contractarian]]<ref>Basically meaning: the people of a society are prepared give up some rights to a government in order to receive social order.</ref> and believed that the law gained peoples' tacit consent. He believed that society was formed from a [[state of nature]] to protect people from the state of war between mankind that exists otherwise. Life is, without an ordered society, "solitary, poore, nasty, brutish and short". It is commonly commented that Hobbes' views about the core of human nature were influenced by his times. The [[English Civil War]] and the Cromwellian dictatorship had taken place, and he felt absolute authority vested in a monarch, whose subjects obeyed the law, was the basis of a civilized society.


==Season 14: 2007–2008==
===Lon Fuller===
{{Main|Lon L. Fuller}}
{{main|ER (season 14)}}
{{:ER (season 14)}}
Writing after [[World War II]], Lon L. Fuller notably emphasised that the law must meet certain formal requirements (such as being impartial and publicly knowable). To the extent that an institutional system of social control falls short of these requirements, Fuller argues, we are less inclined to recognise it as a system of law, or to give it our respect. Thus, law has an internal morality that goes beyond the social rules by which valid laws are made. Fuller and [[Jurisprudence#H.L.A. Hart|Hart]] were colleagues at Oxford University. One of the disagreements between Fuller, a natural lawyer, and [[Jurisprudence#H.L.A. Hart|Hart]], a positivist, was whether [[Nazi]] law was so bad that it could no longer be considered law.


==Season 15: 2008–2009==
===John Finnis===
{{Main|John Finnis}}
Sophisticated positivist and natural law theories sometimes resemble each other more than the above descriptions might suggest, and they may concede certain points to the other "side". Identifying a particular theorist as a positivist or a natural law theorist sometimes involves matters of emphasis and degree, and the particular influences on the theorist's work. In particular, the older natural lawyers, such as Aquinas and John Locke made no distinction between analytic and normative jurisprudence. But modern natural lawyers, such as John Finnis claim to be positivists, while still arguing that law is a basically moral creature...

{{Main|Analytic jurisprudence}}
Analytic, or 'clarificatory' jurisprudence is using a neutral point of view and descriptive language when referring to the aspects of legal systems. This was a philosophical development that rejected natural law's fusing of what law is and what it ought to be.<ref>See H L A Hart, 'Positivism and the Separation of Law and Morals' (1958) 71 ''Harv. L. Rev.'' 593</ref> [[David Hume]] famously argued in ''[[A Treatise of Human Nature]]''[http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/h/hume/david/h92t/]<ref>David Hume, ''A Treatise of Human Nature'' (1739)</ref> that people invariably slip between describing that the world ''is'' a certain way to saying therefore we ''ought'' to conclude on a particular course of action. But as a matter of pure logic, one cannot conclude that we ''ought'' to do something merely because something ''is'' the case. So analysing and clarifying the way the world ''is'' must be treated as a strictly separate question to normative and evaluative ''ought'' questions.


{{Episode list
The most important questions of analytic jurisprudence are: "What are laws?"; "What is ''the'' law?"; "What is the relationship between law and power/sociology?"; and, "What is the relationship between law and morality?" Legal positivism is the dominant theory, although there are a growing number of critics, who offer their own interpretations.

===Legal positivists===
* ER's official episode guide [http://www2.warnerbros.com/ertv/web/episode_guide.html "Seasons 1-11"]
{{Main|Legal positivism}}
* ER's official episode guide [http://www.nbc.com/ER/episodes/ "Seasons 12-present"]
Positivism simply means that the law is something that is "posited": laws are validly made in accordance with socially accepted rules. The positivist view on law can be seen to cover two broad principles: Firstly, that laws may seek to enforce justice, morality, or any other normative end, but their success or failure in doing so does not determine their validity. Provided a law is properly formed, in accordance with the rules recognized in the society concerned, it is a valid law, regardless of whether it is ''just'' by some other standard. Secondly, that law is nothing more than a set of rules to provide order and governance of society. No legal positivist, however, argues that it follows that the law is therefore to be obeyed, no matter what. This is seen as a separate question entirely.
* What the law ''is'' - is determined by social facts (or "sources')
* What obedience the law is ''owed'' - is determined by moral considerations.

====Bentham and Austin====
[[Image:Bentham.jpg|thumb|right|Bentham's utilitarian theories remained dominant in law till the twentieth century]]
{{Main|Jeremy Bentham|John Austin (legal philosopher)}}
One of the earliest legal positivists was Jeremy Bentham. Bentham was an early and staunch supporter of the utilitarian concept (along with [[David Hume|Hume]]), an avid prison reformer, advocate for [[democracy]], and strongly [[atheist]]. Bentham's views about law and jurisprudence were popularized by his student, [[John Austin (legal philosopher)|John Austin]]. Austin was the first chair of law at the new [[University of London]] from 1829. Austin's [[utilitarianism|utilitarian]] answer to "what is law?" was that law is "commands, backed by threat of sanctions, from a sovereign, to whom people have a habit of obedience".<ref>John Austin, ''The Providence of Jurisprudence Determined'' (1831)</ref> Contemporary legal positivists have long abandoned this view, and have criticised its oversimplification, H.L.A. Hart particularly.


[[Category:ER]]
====Hans Kelsen====
[[Category:Lists of drama television series episodes]]
[[Image:1kelsen.jpg|thumb|left|Hans Kelsen]]
{{Main|Hans Kelsen}}
Hans Kelsen is considered one of the preeminent jurists of the [[20th century]]. He is most influential in Europe, where his notion of a [[Grundnorm]] or a "presupposed" ultimate and basic legal norm, still retains some influence. It is a hypothetical norm on which all subsequent levels of a [[legal system]] such as [[constitutional law]] and "simple" law are based. Kelsen's ''pure theory of law'' described the law as being a set of social facts, which are normatively binding too. Law's normativity, meaning that we must obey it, derives from a basic rule which sits outside the law we can alter. It is a rule proscribing the validity of all others.

Kelsen was a Professor at several universities in Europe, notably the [[University of Vienna]] and the [[University of Cologne]]. In [[1940]], he moved to the [[United States]], giving the [[Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures]] at [[Harvard Law School]] in [[1942]] and becoming a full professor at the department of [[political science]] at the [[University of California, Berkeley]] in [[1945]]. During those years, he increasingly dealt with issues of [[international law]] and international institutions such as the [[United Nations]].

====H.L.A. Hart====
{{Main|H.L.A. Hart}}
In the Anglophone world, the pivotal writer was [[H.L.A. Hart]], who argued that the law should be understood as a system of social rules. Hart rejected Kelsen's views that sanctions were essential to law and that a normative social phenomenon, like law, can not be grounded in non-normative social facts. Hart revived analytical jurisprudence as an important theoretical debate in the twentieth century through his book [[The Concept of Law]].<ref>H.L.A. Hart, ''The Concept of Law'' (1961) Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-876122-8</ref> As the chair of jurisprudence at [[Oxford University]], Hart argued law is a 'system of rules'.

Rules, said Hart, are divided into primary rules (rules of conduct) and secondary rules (rules addressed to officials to administer primary rules). Secondary rules are divided into rules of adjudication (to resolve legal disputes), rules of change (allowing laws to be varied) and the rule of recognition (allowing laws to be identified as valid). The "rule of recognition", a customary practice of the officials (especially judges) that identifies certain acts and decisions as sources of law. A pivotal book on Hart was written by Neil MacCormick[http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/staff/neilmaccormick_51.aspx] in 1981 (second edition due in 2007), which further refined and offered some important criticisms that led MacCormick to develop his own theory (the best example of which is his recently published Institutions of Law, 2007). Other important critiques have included that of [[Ronald Dworkin]], [[John Finnis]], and [[Joseph Raz]].

In recent years, debates about the nature of law have become increasingly fine-grained. One important debate is within legal positivism. One school is sometimes called ''[[exclusive legal positivism]]'', and it is associated with the view that the legal validity of a norm can never depend on its moral correctness. A second school is labeled ''[[inclusive legal positivism]]'', and it is associated with the view that moral considerations ''may'' determine the legal validity of a norm, but that it is not necessary that this is the case.

====Joseph Raz====
{{Main|Joseph Raz}}
Some philosophers used to contend that positivism was the theory that there is "no necessary connection" between law and morality; but influential contemporary positivists, including Joseph Raz, John Gardner, and Leslie Green, reject that view. As Raz points out, it is a necessary truth that there are vices that a legal system cannot possibly have (for example, it cannot commit rape or murder).
Joseph Raz defends the positivist outlook, but criticised Hart's "soft social thesis" approach in ''The Authority of Law''.<ref> Joseph Raz, ''The Authority of Law'' (1979) Oxford University Press</ref> Raz argues that law is authority, identifiable purely through social sources, without reference to moral reasoning. Any categorisation of rules beyond their role as authoritative is best left to sociology, rather than jurisprudence.<ref>ch. 2, Joseph Raz, ''The Authority of Law'' (1979)</ref>

===Ronald Dworkin===
{{Main|Ronald Dworkin|Interpretivism}}
[[Image:Ronald Dworkin at the Brooklyn Book Festival.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ronald Dworkin]] sought a theory of law which would justify judges' ability to strike down democratically decided laws.]]
Ronald Dworkin is a leading philosopher. In his book 'Law's Empire'<ref>Ronald Dworkin, ''Law's Empire'' (1986) Harvard University Press</ref> Dworkin attacked Hart and the positivists for their refusal to treat law as a moral issue. Dworkin argues that law is an 'interpretive' concept, that requires judges to find the best fitting and most just solution to a legal dispute, given their constitutional traditions. According to him, law is not entirely based on social facts, but includes the morally best justification for the institutional facts and practices that we intuitively regard as legal. It follows on Dworkin's view that one cannot know whether a society has a legal system in force, or what any of its laws are, until one knows some moral truths about the justifications for the practices in that society. It is consistent with Dworkin's view--in contrast with the views of legal positivists or legal realists--that *no one* in a society may know what its laws are (because no one may know the best justification for its practices.)

Interpretation, according to Dworkin's law as integrity theory, has two dimensions. To count as an interpretation, the reading of a text must meet the criterion of ''fit''. But of those interpretations that fit, Dworkin maintains that the correct interpretation is the one that puts the political practices of the community in their best light, or makes of them ''the best that they can be''. But many writers have doubted whether there ''is'' a single best justification for the complex practices of any given community, and others have doubted whether, even if there are, they should be counted as part of the law of that community.

===Legal realism===
[[Image:Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr circa 1930.jpg|right|thumb|Oliver Wendell Holmes was a self-defined legal realist]]
{{Main|Legal realism}}
Legal realism was a view popular with some Scandinavian and American writers. Skeptical in tone, it held that the law should be understood and determined by the actual practices of courts, law offices, and police stations, rather than as the rules and doctrines set forth in statutes or learned treatises. It had some affinities with the sociology of law. The essential tenet of legal realism is that all law is made by human beings and, thus, is subject to human foibles, frailties and imperfections.

It has become quite common today to identify Justice [[Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.|Oliver Wendell Holmes]], Jr., as the main precursor of American Legal Realism (other influences include
[[Roscoe Pound]], [[Karl N. Llewellyn|Karl Llewellyn]] and Justice [[Benjamin N. Cardozo|Benjamin Cardozo]]). Karl Llewellyn, another founder of the U.S. legal realism movement, similarly believed that the law is little more than putty in the hands of a judge who is able to shape the outcome of a case based on personal biases.<ref>“Jurisprudence”. West’s Encyclopedia of American Law. Ed. Jeffrey Lehman, Shirelle
Phelps. Detroit: Thomson/Gale, 2005.
</ref>
The chief inspiration for Scandinavian legal realism many consider to be the works of [[Axel Hägerström]]. Despite its decline in facial popularity, realists continue to influence a wide spectrum of jurisprudential schools today, including [[critical legal studies]] (scholars such as [[Duncan Kennedy]] and [[Roberto Unger]]), [[feminist legal theory]], [[critical race theory]], and [[law and economics]].

===The Historical School===
{{Main|German Historical School}}
Historical jurisprudence came to prominence during the German debate over the proposed codification of German law. In his book ''On the Vocation of Our Age for Legislation and Jurisprudence'', <ref>Friedrich Carl von Savigny, ''On the Vocation of Our Age for Legislation and Jurisprudence'' (Abraham A. Hayward trans., 1831) </ref> [[Friedrich Carl von Savigny]] argued that Germany did not have a legal language that would support codification because the traditions, customs and beliefs of the German people did not include a belief in a code. The Historicists believe that the law originates with society.

==Normative jurisprudence==
{{Main|Political philosophy}}
In addition to the question, "What is law?", legal philosophy is also concerned with normative, or "evaluative" theories of law. What is the goal or purpose of law? What moral or political theories provide a foundation for the law? What is the proper function of law? What sorts of acts should be subject to [[sanctions (law)|punishment]], and what sorts of punishment should be permitted? What is justice? What rights do we have? Is there a duty to obey the law? What value has the rule of law? Some of the different schools and leading thinkers are as follows.

===Virtue jurisprudence===

Aretaic moral theories such as contemporary [[virtue ethics]] emphasize the role of character in morality. Virtue jurisprudence is the view that the laws should promote the development of virtuous characters by citizens. Historically, this approach is associated mainly with [[Aristotle]] or [[Thomas Aquinas]] later. Contemporary virtue jurisprudence is inspired by philosophical work on virtue ethics.

===Deontology===

{{Main|Deontological ethics}}
Deontology is "the theory of duty or moral obligation."<ref>Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, p. 378 (2d Coll. Ed. 1978).</ref> The philosopher [[Immanuel Kant]] formulated one influential deontological theory of law. He believed that morality is what if I do, would be good for everyone to do. A contemporary deontological approach can be found in the work of the legal philosopher [[Ronald Dworkin]].

===Utilitarianism===

{{Main|Utilitarianism}}
Utilitarianism is the view that the laws should be crafted so as to produce the best consequences. Historically, utilitarian thinking about law is associated with the great philosopher, [[Jeremy Bentham]]. [[John Stuart Mill]] was a pupil of Bentham's and was the torch bearer for [[Utilitarianism (book)|utilitarian]] philosophy through the late nineteenth century.<ref>see, [http://metalibri.incubadora.fapesp.br/portal/authors/m/john-stuart-mill/utilitarianism/ Utilitarianism] at Metalibri Digital Library</ref> In contemporary legal theory, the utilitarian approach is frequently championed by scholars who work in the [[law and economics]] tradition.

===John Rawls===
{{Main|John Rawls|A Theory of Justice}}
John Rawls was an [[United States|American]] [[philosopher]], a [[professor]] of [[political philosophy]] at [[Harvard University]] and author of ''[[A Theory of Justice]]'' ([[1971]]), ''[[Political Liberalism]]'', ''[[Justice as Fairness: A Restatement]]'', and ''[[The Law of Peoples]]''. He is widely considered one of the most important English-language political philosophers of the 20th century. His theory of justice uses a device called the original position to ask us which principles of justice we would choose to regulate the basic institutions of our society if we were behind a `veil of ignorance.' Imagine we do not know who we are - our race, sex, wealth status, class, or any distinguishing feature - so that we would not be biased in our own favour. Rawls argues from this 'original position' that we would choose exactly the same political liberties for everyone, like freedom of speech, the right to vote and so on. Also, we would choose a system where there is only inequality because that produces incentives enough for the economic well-being of all society, especially the poorest. This is Rawls' famous 'difference principle'. Justice is fairness, in the sense that the fairness of the original position of choice guarantees the fairness of the principles chosen in that position.

There are many other normative approaches to the philosophy of law, including [[critical legal studies]] and [[libertarian theories of law]].
