Exploring the 'Legal' in Socio-Legal Studies
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-1-137-34436-6 (ISBN)
The chapters in this book combine traditional legal materials and analyses with other ways of engaging empirically with the 'legal'. They illustrate the rich potential of the 'legal' as a site both for theoretical and methodological reflection and for case study analysis.
Taken as a whole, this volume demonstrates that methodological discussion is most helpful when rooted in empirical cases, and that the best case studies also help us to develop our methodologies. Bringing methodology and empirical analysis together offers an opportunity to reflect on socio-legal studies and develop the discipline in productive new directions.
David Cowan is Professor of Law and Policy at the University of Bristol, UK. Daniel Wincott is Blackwell Professor of Law and Society and Head of Cardiff School of Law and Politics at Cardiff University, UK.
