Who for the first time coined the term, Legal

Solution

The term “legal theory” has been for the first time, coined by W. Friedmann in 1945 when his book on ‘legal theory’ appeared and since then it has become popular. The term “legal theory” is generally used in the sense as an evaluative and normative study of the concept of law and its relationship with morality and justice which the law subserves. The present tendency appears to prefer the term “legal theory” to the term “jurisprudence”.
