Introduction
The systems of law and justice in all countries do constitute collectively a core foundation of the
governance of their societies. The contribution of the systems of law and justice in fostering law
and order and the process of democratization, including rule of law and good governance, is
explicably indispensable. A democratically functional system of law is vital for attaining
trustworthy civic responsibility of general population as well as it is a tool of smoother transition
of society towards better situation.
Furthermore, a functional system of law is a condition precedent for the economic development
and social transformation of the given society. The study of law and justice is thus vital for all
purposes, and as such the discipline of law constitutes a cross-cutting subject which encompasses
every aspects of individual human and social life.
The history of formal legal education, in Nepal, is comparatively shorter, and the history of
recognition of jurisprudence, as a vital component of the study of law, is too short. In this
context, the opening up of opportunities for aspiring students to study law at secondary level
(11–12) is not only important form the point of view of academic pursuit but also vital in view
of generating a mass of efficient and effective lower-level human resources to be consumed by
the institutions of law and justice. This is so also due to need of fostering rule of law and good
governance in the context of new democratic constitution. In consideration of these multiple

considered to be a milestone for fostering rule of law as well as required lower-level human
resource.

acquaint students of some vital principles and theories of law and justice. The principles and
theories of law collectively represent 'the science of law', which is precisely defined as
jurisprudence. Understanding of jurisprudence is vital for several reasons, the enhancement of
the capacity of students towards realistic interpretation of the provisions of law being the
cardinal one. As a matter of fact, this course, which embodies cardinal principles, theories and
