- W2293375177 abstract "The evolution and application of Law to human activities dates back to time immemorial as revealed by one of man’s earliest books and the various philosophical theories. The role and importance of law in regulating human activities is unquantifiable. Customarily laws are couched and or drafted in words, which ordinarily are not instruments of mathematical precision. Words by nature are evasive, and slippery consequently a particular word is capable of more than one interpretation. In view of the evasive and ambiguous nature of words which is the principal medium of expressing law, coupled with human dynamics, it is not possible to draft or have a law or statute which will be free or devoid of ambiguity and also cater for all situations or circumstances which may arise.In order to ameliorate these inherent shortcomings of law and also ensure the attainment of justice, the legal system is endowed with various legal philosophies and judicial practices which are veritable tools adopted to meet the end of justice, particularly in the area of law making and judicial interpretations. Instances abound under common law where an existing principle of law is extended to meet the realities and justice of the case under consideration by the court. It is in the light of the above that this paper seeks to examine the prospects and challenges of sociological conception of law in Nigeria. The paper will be divided into four segments. The first segment will briefly summarize some major concepts of law - Natural law, Positivism, American Realism, Historical and Sociological conception of law along with the role of law within the society. The second segment will entail an assessment of the application of sociological conception of law to judicial administration and legislative processes in Nigeria, while areas of lapses will be identified along with an x- ray of the challenges confronting the courts. The third segment will entail an examination of the practice in other jurisdictions, particularly (Britain, United States and South Africa) as regards the role played by Sociological concepts of law in promoting the end of justice, while the fourth segment will be the concluding part)." @default.
