As a law student I don't think philosophy should have a higher place when it comes to jurisprudence - We need good solutions and justice/security - Philosophy only serves the purpose of determining What is justice? What is the law? Why do laws exist and answering other ambiguous questions - But other than that objectivity and precision are far more important.
