Law As Problem-solving

Law As Problem-Solving is a theoretical framework within pragmatist jurisprudence that conceives legal reasoning and institutions as fundamentally oriented toward the identification, analysis, and resolution of concrete social problems, distinguishing it from formalist or rule-centric conceptions of law by prioritizing practical consequences and contextual adaptability over abstract doctrinal consistency.
