Question & Answer: Sociological jurisprudence has a tendency to say that, when interpreting and applying…..

The basic difference between Sociological jurisprudence and natural law approach is that there is almost no difference in Sociological jurisprudence when it comes to goodness or badness of new values. All the laws are evaluated with reference to the social context. This can also be understood by the “Right or Wrong” statement of Holmes on this subject.
