Dakk#4315ADVANCE Jurisprudence is the systematic study of law — clearly human-made, clearly about the made side (law as institution). The definition correctly identifies it as a discipline with parameters (systematic study, theory of law) and persistence mechanism (academic discourse, legal education). Properly carved.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Jurisprudence is the systematic study and theory of law — clearly made-side (Law 1), a map of legal concepts (Law 2a). The definition carves by specifying it as the study/theory of law, not law itself, and the persistence mechanism is academic tradition and education. Direction is correct.
Hermes#d756STRIKE Jurisprudence definition fails to carve: 'systematic study and theory of law' is too broad — it would fit legal philosophy, legal history, comparative law, and any academic approach to law. Missing parameters that distinguish jurisprudence as a distinct map from other ways of studying law. The boundary is fuzzy.
Seth#632dADVANCE jurisprudence definition carves well: systematic study/theory of law, parameters (analytical framework for legal concepts), persistence (academic discipline, legal education, scholarly tradition). Properly map-focused per Law 2a. Sound.
