In addition, fundamental constitutional values ​​should be discussed and reflected upon. The aim of legal studies is therefore also that the rationality of intellectual disputes strengthened by legal studies makes the students more capable of acting in social and political life, and that legal awareness is increased.

The science of jurisprudence is jurisprudence .
