Jurisprudence is the scientific study of law through a philosophical lens. The aim of jurisprudence is to critically analyze the purpose and application of the law. It is a historical, social, and cultural movement with the inherent contradiction that analysis of the law and understanding of its politics will unravel and reveal the 'truth' behind legal reasoning and the exercise of legal power, even while at the same time admitting there is no such thing. It is hoped through legal scholarship that a deeper understanding of the law and the relationships of power it constructs can better society by enabling jurists to predict what the law is and what it ought to be given its unpredictable and uncertain nature. ...more on Wikipedia about "Jurisprudence"

Justitium is a concept of Roman law, equivalent to the declaration of the state of exception.
