Law in Context : Enlarging a Discipline

This refreshing collection of essays deals with the academic discipline of law as an enterprise which includes not only education, but also scholarship, legal theorizing, and the production of legal literature. The drawing together of these essays (most of which are being published here for the first time) results in a coherent exploration of the study of law, and a radical reappraisal of the role, culture, and practices of law schools. This provocative and readable book will interest and inform all those who are interested in the roles of legal theory, law schools, and lawyers in a changing world.
