Character Development and Legal Message in Popular Culture
A typical narrative pattern in law-related popular culture involves a problem-solving individual encountering and overcoming various obstacles. In many products such as films, TV series, or operas, the character of the protagonist develops in response to challenges. Witnessing this process, the audience is suggested a message on the nature of the law, legal personnel, and legal institutions, in the final analysis, if the law can be trusted. Chara…

Socio‐legal studies at the heart of jurisprudence
The paper comments on a presentation by Barbara Hughes‐Moore at the occasion of a seminar series to celebrate the founding of the Journal of Law and Society . It draws on the metaphor ‘the law is dead’, ‘the law is alive’ used by Hughes‐Moore, which reminds of Eugen Ehrlich's thoughts, the ubiquity of law and the place of socio‐legal studies at or close to the heart of jurisprudence in the United Kingdom. Barbara Hughes‐Moore speaks of the ‘gothi…
Analysing law in opera
In opera, the drama typically unfolds with transgressions against the law or social norms. Legal conflict and crime are important devices used to hold audience interest. Opera embodies a rich combination of acting and song, orchestral music, stage architecture, and a plethora of other dramaturgical devices. The emotional connotations of lawbreaking are laid bare like in no other form of art. The overwhelming effect on the audience may well balanc…
Reflections of Legal Culture in Television Comedy
Traces of law can be found in all aspects of life, law is ubiquitous. People relate law to some of their most desperate life situations, and sometimes law serves them well. It is no wonder that law features prominently in popular comedies. There also is a tradition to ridicule authorities and social institutions, and the law, courts and legal professionals are no exemption. In order to be understandable and “funny”, there needs to be at least a f…
Milestones and Directions
Under the headings of “ Rechtssoziologie ” in Germany and “sociolegal studies” in the UK, scholarly traditions have developed that relate law to its social environment. This Article identifies key stages in the development the subject took in both countries and the directions of travel. Comparable milestones were passed, and directions were taken in Germany and the UK. This includes the institutionalization of the subject along the lines of progr…
Legitimation durch Verfahren – was bleibt
1969 veröffentlichte Niklas Luhmann sein Buch „Legitimation durch Verfahren“. An die Publikation schloss sich eine lebhafte Diskussion in der deutschsprachigen Literatur an. Im Gegensatz zur vorherrschenden Meinung beschrieb Luhmann, wie Institutionen ihre Legitimität selbst produzieren: Sie tun dies mittels des sozialen Mechanismus‘ des Verfahrens, wobei die individuellen Intentionen der beteiligten Parteien kaum eine Rolle spielen. Heute zeigen…
Welsh Nationalism, Language and Students’ Trust in the UK Police
Where nationality, coupled to minority language, forms a key factor of identities, and there is a history of conflict, it may be difficult for the police to command trust. In north-west Wales, Welsh is the language of the majority. Against the background of historic experiences of exploitation, oppression, and perceived neglect by English authorities, many locals have a negative view of the UK police. But what characterises those who are most in …
What Keeps Students from Driving under the Influence of Alcohol and Prescription Drugs?
Driving under alcohol or while under the influence of a medication that impedes the ability to control a car are punishable offenses. The study asks if the perceived legitimacy of law, the perceived dangers of driving, including detection by the police, and the individual inclination to engage in risky and imprudent behaviour influence the likelihood of committing those offenses. At a British university, 337 students took part in a questionnaire …
Recognizing Modern Slavery
“Modern Slavery” comprises forms of extreme labor exploitation. With its Modern Slavery Law 2015, the UK is said to be at the forefront of international efforts to address the crime. But to be effective, members of the public and officers of government agencies need to be able to recognize situations as modern slavery. Students and police officers were given seven scenarios developed from real cases and literature. It turns out that police office…
Inter- and Intra-Agency Co-Operation in Safeguarding Children
In the UK, the co-operation of professionals and their organisations in safeguarding children has been widely criticised. Over-bureaucratisation and lack of support for staff are main concerns. In two counties of North Wales, 210 employees from statutory and voluntary agencies took part in a questionnaire survey on local administrative arrangements and working culture. Insufficient administrative support (40 per cent), funding (33 per cent) and t…

Law students' trust in the courts and the police
Jahre Rechtssoziologie
1913 erschien Eugen Ehrlichs »Grundlegung der Soziologie des Rechts«. In Deutschland ist dieses Jubiläum nicht besonders begangen worden, wiewohl es dafür gute Gründe gäbe. Einer liegt darin, dass Ehrlich den Rechtspluralismus vorbereitet hat, der die aktuelle rechtssoziologische und rechtstheoretische Diskussion dominiert, wo er nicht zuletzt zur Analyse der globalen Rechtsentwicklung dient.
German sociology of law
German sociology of law has developed along a peculiar path which is still shaping its development today. Unlike other special areas of sociology that extended sociologists' inquiry to new fields, the sociology of law was founded mainly by lawyers in the early twentieth century as a tool for enhanced professional practice. The sociology of law became part of a struggle over the academic identity of jurisprudence. This first wave of German sociolo…
Rechtssoziologie
Gegenstand der Rechtssoziologie sind vor allem Rechtsinstitutionen, Rechtsberufe und rechtsbezogenes Handeln. Ganz grundlegend kommt dabei auch in den Blick, wie Regeln zu Recht gemacht werden. Interessen, Konflikte, Werte und Herrschaftsverhältnisse prägen den Umgang mit Recht. Zugleich aber ist das Recht die wirksamste normative Ordnung einer Gesellschaft. Es beeinflusst seinerseits mutmaßlich alle sozialen Zusammenhänge. Die Pflichten und Rech…
Politik und Verwaltung
Stefan Machura präsentiert eine Einführung in die Verwaltungswissenschaft, die primär die inhaltliche Verknüpfung mit der Politikwissenschaft sucht. Er beginnt mit einleitenden Ausführungen zum Begriff der Verwaltung und zur Verwaltungswissenschaft. Das Thema "Politik und Verwaltung" wird ausgefüllt u.a. mit Ausführungen zum Anteil der Verwaltung an der Gesetzgebung und zur Art und Weise, wie verwaltungspolitische Weichenstellungen fallen. Die Im…

Young Tom Edison—Edison, the Man
This article examines two classical examples of biographical films, Young Tom Edison and Edison, the Man , exploring the ways in which popular motion pictures build an image of entrepreneurial inventorship. Both films reflect the time in which they were produced. In 1940, the Great Depression was not forgotten and the film makers venture to re-establish faith in the capitalist system. In pursuing this, they skillfully employ common myths and stan…
Fairness, Justice, and Legitimacy
Which criteria do Russians use to evaluate the fairness of their judges, and how does perceived fairness of actual trials influence general beliefs about Russian courts? Lay assessors at courts in South Russia were asked about their experience serving on mixed courts. The justice of the verdicts rendered and the fairness of judges partly explain the respondents’ view of national courts. According to the results, the respondents are also using sim…
Law and Film
What we have brought together in this collection is a selection of contemporary scholarship in Law and Film in a range of jurisdictions. Law and Film has been a focus of the Law and Society Association at its Annual Meetings through the 1990s and has attracted scholars from different backgrounds. We include four pieces from Germany, three from Britain, and four from the United States of America. Inevitably the concentration within most of the ess…
Law in Film
The courtroom drama is a prominent film genre. Most of the movies in this category are Hollywood productions, dealing with the legal system in the United States of America. What they have in common is that essential parts of their stories take place in court. These movies have a tremendous influence on the public’s concept of justice even though very few of them accurately reflect legal reality. Anyone with legal training who watches films of thi…

Introduction
Over the last few years, procedural justice has become one of the most debated fields in social science and law. Modern thinking about law, democracy and public policy inevitably leads to a consideration of appropriate procedures. Images of such procedures are culturally bound and also formed by individual cognition. The word “fair” seems to encompass the most desired features of procedures
