WHAT DOES JURIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Jurist

Jurist is someone who studies and teaches jurisprudence. Such a person can work as an academic, a legal writer, or an eminent judge. Thus jurist, someone who studies, analyses and comments on law, stands in contrast with lawyer, someone who applies law on behalf of clients and thinks about it in practical terms. As one author has explained: A man may be both a lawyer and a jurist, but a jurist is not necessarily a lawyer, nor a lawyer necessarily a jurist. Both must possess an acquaintance with what we call the law, but that is all. The work of the jurist is the study, analysis, and arrangement of the law — work which can be done wholly in the seclusion of the library. The work of the lawyer is the satisfaction of the wishes of particular human beings for legal assistance — work which requires dealing to some extent therefore with people in the office, in the court room, or in the market-place. The relative importance of the lawyer and the jurist is not material to this discussion. Any highly civilized society requires both lawyers and jurists, both philosophers and men of affairs.

4 QUOTES WITH «JURIST»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word jurist.

1

Bob Barr

The legal principle placing the burden of proof on accusers rather than the accused can be traced back to Second and Third Century Roman jurist, Julius Paulus Prudentissimus. Yet, this ancient concept, which forms the legal and moral cornerstone of the American judicial system, is quickly being undermined in the name of 'national security.'

2

Saddam Hussein

There is much to be said for having an experienced international jurist who is entirely unconnected with the allied invaders, on the tribunal.

3

Henry James Sumner Maine

The inquiries of the jurist are in truth prosecuted much as inquiry in physic and physiology was prosecuted before observation had taken the place of assumption.

4
