Socio‐Legal Studies
The rise and development of socio‐legal studies and sociology of law as disciplinary fields from the early nineteenth century up to the present can be summarized with reference to the refinement and specification of the notion of law according to five main analytical points: law as a social fact; free search of living law; law as an instrument of social engineering; law as a system mirroring social dynamics; and law as a polycentric regulatory de…
The Entry of Women as Organic Professionals of Justice Systems
In the last decades a rising number of sociolegal studies have been devoted to the official entry of women into Courts of Justice as lawyers, judges and public attorneys. These studies undoubtedly provided significant cognitive hints. It is apparent, however, that the matter still requires a wider perspective and a deeper introspection in order to enlighten the inner rationale, as well as the current social and legal impact, of the entry of women…
The Concept of Profession Today
The aim of the paper is to go beyond current theoretical disputes about the heuristic value of notions of 'profession' and 'professionalism' in contemporary (western) society and try to re-assess the everlasting pillars of their epistemological foundations, the existing gap between what a professional or a professional performance is, could be or ought to be. Surely what we still call 'profession' and 'professionalism' are socially constructed is…
The European Learned Professions and the Eu Higher Education Project
One of the most serious problems for those who are concerned with the structure and function of the power-knowledge nexus in contemporary Europe is the lack of a systematic scientific account of the rationale of the EU policy about both learned professions and higher education. The problem does not only stem from the still-living legacies of the past. It stems also from the EU need to provide EU governance with EU-oriented learned professionals i…
Shifting Heuristics in the Sociological Approach to Professional Trustworthiness
The aim of this article is to raise social-scientific awareness about the growing disenchantment with basic assumptions about the progressive outcomes of western-styled 'modernity' and 'modernization' and how western society is standing up to such a disquieting historical trajectory and facing the challenge of other emerging models. As there is no doubt that only a substantial cultural change could counteract the trend, the article deals with tha…
The Paradigm Shift of a Key Concept
Since the Enlightenment, both the notion of production and the production paradigm have been at the core of western culture. From their inception new sciences such as sociology gained considerable influence by studying the everchanging facets and multi-dimensional impact of the issues related to these conceptual tools. Sociology of law also has been bound up with concern for their heuristic value. Indeed, the development of this disciplinary area…
Le Pluralisme juridique comme lutte pour le droit
Certains auteurs ont récemment fait la proposition de mettre au rancart le «pluralisme juridique» en sociologie du droit et en anthropologie juridique. Selon eux, l'utilisation de cette notion a une connotation qui trahit la dynamique constitutive de l'expérience juridique, jusqu'au point d'empêcher l'avancement de la compréhension scientifique du droit sur la société. Tout en reprenant sérieusement les arguments an soutien de cette proposition –…
