Against the Law

"Against the Law" is a sometimes playful, sometimes pungent polemic about the state of legal theory today. Three authors from different parts of the political spectrum come together in this book to attack contemporary legal scholarship's complacency, idolatry, and insipidness. "Against the Law" is not against the law; just the ways law professors imagine it."--J. M. Balkin, Yale Law School

Zusammenfassung

A fundamental critique of American law and legal thought, this book consists of a series of essays written from three different perspectives that coalesce into a criticism of contemporary legal culture. It is of interest not only to the legal academics under attack in the book, but also to sociologists, historians, and social theorists.
