It is disputed whether the law is an autonomous discipline or not? The
adherents of the autonomy of law mainly are they, legal scholarship should
be about distinctively legal topics and is not or should not be about other
topics.
The supporters of dependence of law mainly are legal realism, economic
analysis of law, law and society, critical legal studies movement. They say
the governing presupposition of them .is that the content of law cannot be
comprehended in and of itself, simply as law. Law is considered to have no
meaning except that which it manages to learn from other disciplines and
inquiries. Therefore , the study of law becomes parasitic on the study of nonlegal
disciplines and law provides only the authoritative form into which the
conclusions of non-legal thinking are translated.
In this article, have also studied Islamic Law in this regard and concluded
that the law is not absolutely autonomous or absolutely dependant on other
disciplines.
