Legal science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Legal Science is one of the social sciences which deals with the institutions and principles that particular societies have developed:
- - for defining the claims and liabilities of a person against one another in various circumstances, and
- - for peacefully resolving disputes and controversies in accordance with principles accepted as fair and right in the particular community at a given time.

Legal science is one of the main components in the civil law tradition (after Roman Civil law, canon law, commercial law, and the legacy of the revolutionary period). Legal science is primarily the creation of German legal scholars of the middle and late nineteenth century, and it evolved naturally out of the ideas of Savigny. Savigny argued that German codification should not follow the rationalist and secular natural law thinking that characterized the French codification but should be based on the principles of law that had historically been in force in Germany.[1]
