This course is a general introduction to the sociology of law intended for graduate students in all disciplines. The sociology of law treats law as a social institution and examines how law relates to social structure, social inequality, and broad changes in society. Scholars in this field study how law constitutes the major categories of social life and structures social behavior, and examine law as it is embedded within social context as a social institution rather than as an authoritative text. This foundation seminar will cover classic and contemporary works that address law, rights and social change; law, inequality and power; the social construction of disputes and dispute resolution; organizations and law; the legal profession; and social movements and law. Doctoral students in the JSP program who plan to take the sociology of law field exam should take this course in preparation.
