Definition

  • Jurisprudence of interests (Interessenjurisprudenz) is an approach by which jurists regard law as determined primarily by the struggle among political, economic, moral, and social interests in society. Accordingly, they view legal rules and decisions as reflecting the victory of certain such interests over others.
