Law is the system of rules and regulations which a state imposes to regulate the actions, of its citizens and various institutions, which are being done in the area which is governed by the law.
‘Jurisprudence of Lawyer’s’ and ‘Lawyer’s Extraversion’ are the branches that are emerging from the law itself. They are generally said to be two different aspects, but, they have to be dealt together for justice and proper administration in a country.
Derivation of ‘Jurisprudence’ is from a Latin term Juris and prudentia; which means the study of science, study, and knowledge of the law. Jurisprudence is mainly divisible into three types: Theory, Analysis, and Social impact. ‘Theory’ part deals with the ideologies and written law as postulated by the legal philosophers and jurists. ‘Analytical’ part states that how these postulated laws should be applied for betterment of the society. ‘Social impact’, as the word suggests, tells us about the actual impact these laws will have on the substantive and procedural aspects of law.[1]
‘Lawyer’s Extraversion’ means the application of the idea and knowledge of law by a lawyer when he starts practicing in the field. ‘Extraversion’ is a trait of human nature. The person who are extroverts or who have the tendency to interact with people possess this trait.
Their treatment is parallel in nature despite the fact that they are supposedly two separate branches as mentioned earlier. Even extraversion, somehow, is related to the sociological and analytical aspects of jurisprudence. A lawyer who is better in understanding the impact of law on society is supposedly a great extrovert and better framer of arguments. He is more likely to have his dominance over the thinking of people and most importantly, the judges.
But, at present lawyers are only focusing on their skill to interact and just follow and deal with the society. They, somehow, lost their focus from jurisprudence and are focusing on extra-version. Lawyers are not working as per the laws laid down in many acts; but, are just dealing with the emerging problems and illegal situations through the application of layman society norms. They don’t possess any special knowledge than what is available to today’s student. They have set aside the theoretical part and apply the sociological aspect in dealing with the cases they work on. It is also because they have an experience while dealing with the laws and the cases they have dealt with.
The study of jurisprudence is possible in every educational institution. But, implementation of said education in practice and while interacting with the society isn’t provisional. As the education sector develops at a higher speed, experience for interacting with society while studying gives exposure to the law aspirants; They understand the work keeping in mind the postulated laws and norms laid down for the governance of the State. It gives them mixed experience for both the things. It doesn’t just help them experience but also helps them watch out for the written provisions in various acts and statutes. They can help the authorities in-charge to amend the acts and the provisions in it; keeping in mind the development and changes which are taking place in different societies throughout the world.
Society is a ‘web-relationship’ and change in the society relates to the change in relationship; Wherein the understanding of the term “relationship” is in terms of social processes, interactions and organizations. Thus, the usage of the term, ‘social change’ is to indicate variations in the society we live in. It includes structural and functional changes that are taking place in the society.[2]
Lawyers’ work is not just to deal with the cases and have the judgments in favor of them. But, they have to bring out the free and fair justice in regards to the people who are in need or party aggrieved. This will happen only if lawyers will put jurisprudence and extraversion at an equal level. To meet the needs of current society an advocate must have the knowledge and experience both to help in building the society accordingly.
Conclusion
Lawyers have to now focus on both knowledge as well as the learning part. Internships are the most important concern for all the colleges and universities. They want that their students should learn, not copy what they have studied. They should know how to apply their knowledge in practical life. There every action should be a combination of both knowledge and learning.
The application of concept of law is always to understand the rule of law. Rule of law is Jurisprudence; and the concept of law is what we apply, deal, and implement while being in the society. Lawyers should always keep in mind that justice can only be achieved in a society when law and its implementation weigh on the same level. When all these things will be done, keeping in mind all the factors and procedures discussed herein, then the phrase “Jurisprudence as Lawyer’s Extraversion” will said to be achieved.
In the past, there was knowledge of the law but a lack of learning. In medial age, there was learning but a lack of knowledge. But, as we have grown and still developing, both knowledge and learning of legal information is available. Now it is up to all upcoming lawyers and lawyers & advocates who are providing knowledge/internship to the students to provide them with a better understanding of the law and their legal implementations.
