Thailand's Cause Lawyers and Twenty-First-Century Military Coups: Nation, Identity, and Conflicting Visions of the Rule of Law - Erratum
Thailand's Cause Lawyers and Twenty-First-Century Military Coups: Nation, Identity, and Conflicting Visions of the Rule of Law
Conflict among Thailand's legal advocates for popular causes over the legitimacy of Thailand's two twenty-first-century coups raises questions about the meaning of the rule of law. The general perception of inexorable globalization of an international interpretation of the rule of law and of cause lawyers as one of its important vectors runs counter to the experience of developing societies where rule of law is being adapted to the meaning of nat…
Globalization through the Lens of Palace Wars: What Elite Lawyers' Careers Can and Cannot Tell Us about Globalization of Law
Yves Dezalay and Bryant Garth's three studies— Dealing in Virtue (1996), The Internationalization of Palace Wars (2002), Asian Legal Revivals (2010)—trace the globalization of law through “palace wars” among elites for positions in the “fields of state power.” They conclude that globalization occurs through links among elites engaged in their domestic palace wars, which independently establish the symbolic power of law in each state. The article …

Sugar's Life in the Hood: The Story of a Former Welfare Mother
Laboring below the Line: The New Ethnography of Poverty, Low-Wage Work, and Survival in the Global Economy
The Russell Sage Foundation, one of the oldest of America's general purpose foundations, was established in 1907 by Mrs. Margaret Olivia Sage
Poverty, Welfare, and the Affirmative State
Ethnographic study of American poverty from the Progressive Era to the present has provided a sympathetic window on the lives of the poor. Ethnographers bear witness to the world of need, oppression, and survival, but the best ethnography has always provided more than the stark facts of life in poverty. Carol Stack, Elliott Liebow, Joyce Ladner, and earlier generations of scholars helped us do more than put faces on the poor; their mission was to…
Inquiry and Activism in Law and Society
Two events in the past twelve months have made me think about the law and society field and activism-two events and many years of telling myself that our field is about more than research
Immanence and Identity: Understanding Poverty through Law and Society Research
I. Poverty as Politics Welfare policy has occupied a position in public political discourse since the 1960s as in few other periods of American history. The 1996 federal welfare reform legislation that swept away Aid to Families with Dependent Children in favor of statecontrolled programs supported by federal block-grant funding emerged from a momentous, long-running political debate occupying the foreground in every administration since the mid1…
Law and Inequality: Race, Gender… and, of Course, Class
This chapter discusses the concept of class in an important subfield, the sociology of law. Class, a pivotal institution of society, was central to the earliest studies of legal institutions and of law and inequality in particular. More recently, class has played a less important role. This chapter argues for the continuing importance of class and provides examples of its potential use in contemporary sociolegal research. The first part reviews e…
Asking the Right Question: [Commentary]
Marianne Constable's essay, Genealogy and Jurisprudence,' brings the intellectual history of the law and society field within the framework of Nietzsche's six-stage history of metaphysics. Reorganized within that framework, the work of particular law and society scholars is seen to represent stages of thought about the relationship between the of appearances described in empirical research and the possibilities for human action. Successive moveme…

Legal Resources of Striking Miners: Notes for a Study of Class Conflict and Law
Trial Courts and Social Change: The Evolution of a Field of Study
Afterword: Studying Litigation And Social Change
1 Reviewing law and society research a decade ago, Richard Abel (1980) argued that concern for legal effectiveness, a concern embedded in the ideological premises of the legal system itself, so dominated theories about law and social change that research was limited to impact studies--studies that examined the law's effectiveness in producing behavior conforming with legal norms.In a related criticism, Austin Sarat and Susan Silbey (1988) have su…
Law, Change, and Litigation: A Critical Examination of an Empirical Research Tradition
This article examines the theory and empirical methods of recent studies of law and litigation. It argues that the recent interest in longitudinal studies of trial court dockets proceeds from a deeply rooted functionalist theoretical tradition in empirical work on courts. Functionalist theory, through its sophisticated application in the work of James Willard Hurst, is described as the direct or indirect source of theory for longitudinal litigati…

Critical Legal Studies versus Critical Legal Theory: A Comment on Method
Over the last decade the Conference on Critical Legal Studies (CCLS) has rekindled an important debate about the study of legal ideologies. The work by scholars within this movement is provocative because it demands that we take seriously the contradictory needs and ideological parameters of liberal legalism. The growing body of work associated with this movement has not, however, included a criticism of the ideological underpinnings of legal met…
