Publisher's Synopsis
Critical legal studies is one of the most challenging developments in the contemporary study of law. It engages with the theory and politics of law and shows how both the profession and the academic discipline are deeply influenced by the realities of power in society.;The essays in this book provide the first wide-ranging samples of the aims and scope of critical legal studies in Britain. They draw on a wide range of intellectual traditions, including feminism, Marxism, critical theory and deconstruction and explore the implications of the critical approach for important areas such as property, contract, company, and labour law.
