THE FUNDAMENTALS OF A SUCCESSFUL PUPILLAGE

Viewed from any angle, Law is an intriguing, intricate and complex subject. The attempt to define it has involved the best efforts of the greatest thinkers in many fields of human endeavour, ranging from natural sciences to theology. The struggle, which has lasted for many centuries, continues till today. Many lawyers are familiar with the natural law propositions of Aquinas, the “categorical imperative” of Immanuel Kant and the positivism of Austin. The difficulty in finding the proper definition of law has arisen because of its intricate nature. If we restrict ourselves to the content of Law, we will soon find that many problems attend it. Law must contain rules that its subjects must not just obey but can obey. The need for obedience immediately throws up sociological and psychological perplexities. The cultural, social and religious preparation for such obedience must be brought into consideration by the lawmakers. Law must be benchmarked against a standard. That then brings up the issue of justice, a subject that branches out into politics, economics, morality and family.
