Recensioner i media

"This collection of law and society scholarship fills a gap that many of us in the field have lamented for years. Encyclopedic in scope, it manages to represent the rich diversity of the field while still making a strong case for a law and society "canon". It is bound to become a classic."Kitty Calavita, University of California, Irvine "Austin Sarat and his contributors have compiles a valuable and authoritative introduction to a substantial body of scholarship and reflection on the relationship between law and society. this will be an essential resource for both novice and experienced workers in this field." Robert Dingwall, University of Nottingham
