Answer 1

In this dialogue Legal realism school of thought is illustrated.Legal realism is a naturalistic approach to law. It is the view that jurisprudence should emulate the methods of natural science, i.e., rely on empirical evidence. Hypotheses must be tested against observations of the world. Allied Chemical hair gel first increased hair growth and afterwards the hair would fall out.Here decision was taken on actual observations of the world that hair start falling out after initial accelerated hair growth. The perspective of legal realism is that legal rules are to benefit the larger society and public policy based on judicial decisions. Neither dogma or supernatural authority applies. A court is expected to determine 'legal rights' and 'legal duties'.According to this theory, judges consider not only abstract rules, but also social interests and public policy when deciding a case.
