Book excerpt: A core text for the Law and Society or Sociology of Law course offered in Sociology, Criminal Justice, Political Science, and Schools of Law. * John Sutton offers an explicitly analytical perspective to the subject - how does law change? What makes law more or less effective in solving social problems? What do lawyers do? * Chapter 1 contrasts normative and sociological perspectives on law, and presents a brief primer on the logic of research and inference as it is applied to law related issues. * Theories of legal change are discussed within a common conceptual framework that highlights the explantory strengths and weaknesses of different arguments. * Discussions of "law in action" are explicitly comparative, applying a consistent model to explain the variable outcomes of civil rights legislation. * Many concrete, in-depth examples throughout the chapters.

Book Synopsis Lawyers in Society by : Richard L. Abel
Download or read book Lawyers in Society written by Richard L. Abel. This book was released on 1995-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among all those who encounter the law in the conduct of their lives or who consider it as a career, few have a solid understanding of the legal profession in America, and fewer still know anything about systems in other parts of the world. Lawyers in Society offers a concise comparative introduction to the practice of law in a number of countries: England, Germany, Japan, Venezuela, and Belgium. Extracted from the editors' three highly successful volumes Lawyers in Society, these essays guide readers through the differing worlds of civil and common law, law in Europe and Asia, and first and third world legal systems. One contribution addresses the changing role of women in the profession--women comprise half of all new lawyers in most countries--and the changes they are bringing. A new introduction and concluding essay reflect on the place of this volume in current and future research.

Book Synopsis Pierre Bourdieu by :
Download or read book Pierre Bourdieu written by . This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special English language issue of the Nordic periodical Retfærd (Justice) is dedicated to the sociology of law and one of the great social theorists of the late 20th century, the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002). In his extensive catalogue of publications, Bourdieu provided the outline of sociology of the legal field. Moreover, in his many studies of other social fields, and especially in his in-depth analyses of the State, he addressed law and the legal profession as key elements of the development of modern society. Yet, as pointed out in the first article, Bourdieu's encounter with law remained, for a number of reasons, a somewhat unfulfilled research program, which has provided grist to the mill for a growing number of socio-legal studies. The table of contents include: Pierre Bourdieu: From Law to Legal Field * An Intellectual and Personal Encounter * Sociology of the Internationalization of Law * The Double Game of the Patricians of the Indian Bar in the Market of Civic Virtue * The Construction of a Dominant Position in an International Field of Legal Assistance * National Divisions and Transnational Strategies * On the Accumulation of Cosmopolitan Capital: A Comment on Bourdieu and Law
