Roscoe Pound (1879–1964), professor of general jurisprudence at Harvard Law School, first articulated the ideas that formed the foundation of sociological jurisprudence in 1906 in an address to the American Bar Association. He argued law should be evaluated based on the “results it achieves” rather than based on the logical consistency of legal rules. The true purpose of the law was to make people’s lives easier and happier.
