Jurisprudence is a science about the principle, principle and spirit of law, the most universal, universal and fundamental thought about law, legal phenomena and legal problems, and the truth about law.

Broadly speaking, jurisprudence can be defined as the wisdom of law or the understanding of the nature and context of "legal cause". The root of jurisprudence should be "juris", that is, law or right. Another root "prudence" refers to wisdom.

Therefore, jurisprudence may be a knowledge of seeking legal wisdom or a wise understanding of law. According to Fuller's legal motto "the cause that makes people's behavior obey ownership governance" and the usage of Beyleveled and Brownsword, we can get the term "legal cause".
