The sociology of law treats law as a social institution. In contrast to legal formalist approaches that assume the impartiality and autonomy of law, or jurisprudential approaches that examine the morality of law, sociological studies of law examine the relation of legal institutions and actors to social structure. This seminar will cover classic and contemporary works that address the capacity of law to produce social change; the relation of law to inequality; the social construction of disputes and dispute resolution; organizations and law; legal pluralism; legal consciousness; and social movements and law. Graduate students in all disciplines are welcome.
