Juridical science refers to the systematic study and analysis of law. It encompasses legal principles, theories, doctrines, and practices that govern society's rules for maintaining order and resolving disputes within a legal framework.
Think of juridical science as an intricate web that holds society together. Just like each strand in a spider's web plays an important role in capturing prey efficiently, juridical science provides guidelines for maintaining justice and resolving conflicts in a fair and orderly manner.
