BRIEF CONSIDERATIONS ON THE HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF JURISPRUDENCE AS SOURCE OF LAW

Summary/Abstract: The legal practice, also known as the jurisprudence (Lat. jurisprudentia) represents all decisions ruled by all the courts. It is the science of the law2 or, in other words, the knowledge of the divine and human things, the science of what is fair and unfair (Ulpian). The jurisprudential law or the common law system (from the English common law, case-law, judge-made law) represents the legal system developed based on the jurisprudence of the courts, auctoritas rerum perpetuo similiter indicatum. In the common law systems, the law is drafted and/or modified by judges, who have the authority and responsibility to create law using the case law.
