The study and theory of law, obtain deeper understanding of the nature of law, legal reasoning, legal systems, and legal institutions. The existence and contents of law depends on the social facts and not its merits. The law depends on what type of governance is in place. Law is a matter of what is practiced and tolerated not the fact the law is just or unjust, wise or unwise etc. The view that the law is a social construction. Legal realism: (karl llewellyn) there is a conceptual seperation between law and morality(they are fundamentally different things), what the law is and what it ought to be. (seperation thesis). The law depends on the political, economic, and social context it is made. Judges make laws based on the views they have. Natural law: denies the social thesis and says that law is both a social and moral phenomenon.
