Sociological jurisprudence, which emerged in the late 19th century, is based on pragmatic philosophy and sociology and has become an important legal school in contemporary Western law. Sociological jurisprudence views law as a social phenomenon, emphasizing the relationship between law and society, the importance of social interests in the development of law and society, and the social effects of law and judgments. Sociological jurisprudence has had a significant impact on contemporary Western law. Many of the current hot topics in Western law, such as economic analysis jurisprudence, critical jurisprudence, and feminist jurisprudence, are largely considered contemporary variants of sociological jurisprudence.
