Introduction: Law in a Changing Climate
As societies grapple with mitigating or adapting to climate change, law plays a prominent role in the social relations that constitute a response. In this essay, we briefly review of the many different perspectives on law and climate change offered by the authors in this special issue of Law and Society Review. From transnational human rights activism to constitutional litigation to local practices and all around the globe, both the powerful and …
Stakeholder Views of Science and Technologies for Phosphorus Sustainability: A Comparative Analysis of Three Case Studies in Phosphorus Recovery in the U.S
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for sustaining human life, but its current management is unsustainable. Scientists are currently developing novel scientific and technological innovations to improve P management. By engaging stakeholders to understand their perceptions and concerns, researchers can address concerns and improve the chances that their innovations will be adopted. In this paper, we conducted thirty-seven interviews with U.S. s…
Enacting boundaries or building bridges? Language and engagement in food-energy-water systems science
Scientific study of issues at the nexus of food–energy–water systems (FEWS) requires grappling with multifaceted, “wicked” problems. FEWS involve interactions occurring directly and indirectly across complex and overlapping spatial and temporal scales; they are also imbued with diverse and sometimes conflicting meanings for the human and more-than-human beings that live within them. In this paper, we consider the role of language in the dynamics …

Legal mobilization and climate change: The role of law in wicked problems
Climate change is a wicked problem, a framework not often used in sociolegal studies. The problem is complex, not readily named, and not limited to one jurisdiction. Therefore, the places of law are multiple: human rights instruments, supranational tribunals, regional courts, and local governments and NGOS. Litigation concerning responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions has largely not resulted in favorable judgments, and the papers in this col…
Sexual Harassment: United States and Beyond
Cause Lawyering
Cause lawyers are powerful gatekeepers to the political and legal institutions where the dynamics between law and social change get played out. Yet, after years of research, we still seem far from a settled picture of cause lawyering and cause lawyers. In this article, we first describe the social and cultural practices that constitute cause lawyering. Second, we link cause lawyering to the clients served—from sophisticated social movement organi…
English Catholic Exiles in Late Sixteenth-Century Paris
Here we have a good example of modern, strong and discerning scholarship on a distinctive subject: English Catholic exiles, and the multiple reasons behind their exile in early modern Paris, mainly in the 1580s. These English exiles in this period were, as Gibbons shows, a rather disparate group of people, possibly only some 300–500 strong in a Parisian population of some 300,000 in 1580. Often facing outright hostility at home, the exiles sought…
Shots . . . and Counting: What Amadou Diallo’s Story Teaches Us about Policing, Race, and Justice
Environmental Justice and Grassroots Legal Action
This article examines the way that one environmental justice organization advised its members about litigation and legal strategies. As many scholars would predict, the Center for Health, Environment and Justice discouraged activists from using litigation as the primary strategy to advance their agenda. However, they also offered activists advice about how to control the role of lawyers to prevent them from dominating the movement. In addition, t…
Communities and Culture: Enriching Legal Consciousness and Legal Culture
In Israel, Palestinian feminists have organized to prevent domestic violence and honor killings in the Palestinian community, seeking, among other things, greater state intervention on behalf of victims. In particular, these feminists want the Israeli criminal justice system to take the problem more seriously and demand more arrests and more prosecutions of Palestinian men who victimize their wives, sisters, and daughters. Yet such state interven…
Idle Rights: Employees' Rights Consciousness and the Construction of Sexual Harassment Policies
This article analyzes women's legal consciousness in responding to unwanted sexual attention in the workplace. By focusing on a particular social problem, this study is situated in the particular legal domain of sexual harassment laws and in a specific organizational context. Taking the perspective of the intended beneficiaries of sexual harassment policies and procedures-women with complaints about sexual conduct in the workplace-I show that the…
Injustice Frames, Legality, and the Everyday Construction of Sexual Harassment
This paper examines the frames that women use to understand their experience with sexual harassment. While legal frames do provide crucial guidance to women evaluating the behavior of their colleagues and supervisors, working women deployed a number of other interpretive frames when deciding whether they had been harmed by such behavior. Some of those frames emerge from feminist messages about discrimination and male abuse of power in the workpla…
In Their Own Words: How Ordinary People Construct the Legal World
When Morality and Economics Collide (or Not) in a Texas Community
Closing the Gaps: Plaintiffs in Pivotal Sexual Harassment Cases
When he wrote Debtors in Court almost 30 years ago, Herbert Jacob laid the foundation for the legal mobilization research that has flourished in recent years. In arguing that litigants were political actors, Jacob showed that their social identities and communications networks influenced their decisions to use the power of the law to vindicate their interests. This paper builds on Jacob's original insights to analyze the origins of the claim for …
