The present work, Jurisprudence and Legal Theory by V.D. Mahajan, attempts to explain the legal concept and theories of law including its sources in simple and understandable language. It is a detailed analytical work on the subject giving due consideration to the recent developments and latest research in the field. The chapters in this work have been devoted to the study of nature, scope, classification and sources of law, including the concept of sovereignty and administration of justice; legal concepts and the basic concept relating to procedural law, and legal theories containing elaborate discussions on the various schools of law. The book is complete with full critical analysis of the subject containing various views of the distinguished jurists arranged under appropriate heads on all the basic concepts which underlie most systems of law. In addition to a very useful subject index facilitating easy reference, the author has taken care to give a fairly long list of 'suggested readings' at the end of each chapter to enable further study on the subject.
