Answer:

1.Analytical jurisprudence- is a philosophical approach to law that draws on the resources of modern analytical philosophy to try to understand its nature. Since the boundaries of analytical philosophy are somewhat vague, it is difficult to say how far it extends

2.Normative Jurisprudence- aims to reinvigorate normative legal scholarship that both criticizes positive law and suggests reforms for it, on the basis of stated moral values and legalistic ideals.

3.Critical legal studies- is a school of critical theory that first emerged as a movement in the United States during the 1970s
