In the broadest sense, "jurisprudence" is the study of the nature of law, methods of legal

reasoning, legal systems, and legal institutions. Its study covers such concepts as how we
know what law is, what are the sources of law and any obligation to obey it, and what
difference there is between law and justice. Often included is analysis of how competing
concepts of liberty, equality, neutrality, and choice of law affect judicial decisions. The focus
is on the practical application of legal concepts.

"Legal theory" is more strictly academic, since it is the examination of different intellectual
traditions that have shaped the law: natural law and natural rights, legal positivism, legal
realism, Marxism, feminist legal theory, and postmodern legal theory.

"Law"is a system of rules regulating the activities of a particular group of humans and
penalties for breaking those rules.

Conscience – lương tâm

Through our individual conscience, we become aware of our deeply held moral principles,
we are motivated to act upon them, and we assess our character, our behavior and
ultimately our self against those principles. Different philosophical, religious and common
sense approaches to conscience have emphasized different aspects of this broad
characterization

Moral – luân lý

A person’s idea of morals tends to be shaped by their surrounding


environment (and sometimes their belief system). Moral values shape a
person’s ideas about right and wrong. They often provide the guiding ideas
behind ethical systems, they are the basis for ethics. A moral precept is an
idea or opinion that’s driven by a desire to be good

Ethics – đạo đức

 An ethical code is a set of rules that defines allowable actions or correct


behavior. An ethical code doesn’t have to be moral. It’s just a set of rules for
people to follow. In other words, an ethical code has nothing to do with cosmic
righteousness or a set of beliefs. It’s a set of rules that are drafted by trade
groups to ensure members stay out of trouble and act in a way that brings
credit to the profession.
