Abstract
The article examines the evolving role of the jurist and the crisis in legal scholarship, arguing that the jurist’s traditional function as an interpreter of law and its cultural and historical context remains vital. It critiques the decline of juristic enquiry and the dismissal of legal dogma, advocating for a revival of hermeneutic approaches to legal interpretation. The jurist, as a humanistic and politically engaged figure, is seen as essential to addressing social injustice and redefining justice in contemporary society.
