<![CDATA[The sociology of law as a scientific discipline has developed through various schools and currents of thought that offer diverse theoretical perspectives on the relationship between law and society. This study aims to analyze the main schools and currents in the sociology of law, including the positivist school, the sociological jurisprudence school, the critical legal studies school, and the feminist legal theory school, as well as their relevance to contemporary legal studies. Using a normative-empirical legal research method with a conceptual and comparative approach, this study finds that each school offers a unique contribution to understanding the dynamics of law in social life. The positivist school emphasizes the autonomy and certainty of law, while the sociological jurisprudence school bridges formal law and social reality.
