"CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION TO LEGALOGY

The Meaning of Legalogy

    It is necessary to begin by proposing a definition of legalogy and its subject matter.  The word legalogy comes from a combination of two words -- 'legal' and '-logy'.  The 7th Edition of Black's Law Dictionary partly defines 'legal' as relating to law or falling within the province of law.  And the New Webster's Dictionary of the English Language defines '-logy' as the science of or study of.  Therefore, legalogy could be defined as the study or the science of law.  It could be defined as the branch of science, which falls within the jurisdiction of law.  In effect, and in its positive essence, it is the technology of law or a practical approach to the study of law.  Moreover, it is the scientific study of legal determination of human existence and a semblance of the existential determination of laws.

    In this cradle of legalogy, the course must concern itself with the positive science of law.  Accordingly, the scope of the subject covers the nature and essence of law, natural law and rights, legislation and the authority from whom legislation emanates, the privileges and immunities of the legislator from whom legislation comes, the elemental concepts of the law and the procedure for the making of legislation." (p.1 of the book)
