Description

In this stimulating volume, Larry D. Barnett locates a fundamental defect in widespread assumptions regarding the institution of law, asserting that scholarship on law is being led astray by currently accepted beliefs. He challenges readers to reconsider how we understand law as a societal institution, arguing that progress in legal scholarship will remain impeded until a more accurate view of law is accepted. The Place of Law addresses two core questions at the heart of the institution: why law remains an evidently universal and enduring institution across societies characterised by relatively different structures and values. This Routledge publication offers a fresh perspective on legal theory, questioning conventional wisdom and encouraging deeper examination of law's actual role and limitations within social systems, making it essential reading for students, scholars and professionals interested in legal sociology, anthropology and social theory.

Key Features

The Place of Law by Larry D. Barnett challenges fundamental assumptions about how law functions as a universal social institution across different societies.

This Routledge book examines the core questions underlying legal theory and the actual limitations of law in society, moving beyond conventional scholarly approaches.

Barnett's analysis addresses why law persists as an enduring institution despite varying social structures, providing theoretical insight for legal and social science studies.

The volume targets readers interested in legal sociology, anthropology and social sciences, offering critical examination of law's true role beyond traditional assumptions.
