Nathan Roscoe Pound (October 27, 1870 – June 28, 1964) was an American legal scholar and educator. He served as dean of the University of Nebraska College of Law from 1903 to 1911 and was dean of Harvard Law School from 1916 to 1936. He was a member of Northwestern University, the University of Chicago Law School and the faculty at UCLA School of Law in the school's early years, from 1949 to 1952.[1] The Journal of Legal Studies has identified Pound as one of the most cited legal scholars of the 20th century.
**Contribution to jurisprudence** Roscoe Pound also made a significant contribution to jurisprudence in the tradition of sociological jurisprudence, which emphasized the importance of social relationships in the development of law and vice versa. His best-known theory consists of conceptualizing **law as social engineering**. According to Pound, a lawmaker acts as a social engineer by attempting to solve problems in society using law as a tool.[24] Pound argued that **laws must be understood by examining the "interests" that they serve**. These "interests" might be individual interests, such as the protection of an individual's life or property, or broader social interests.
