The sociology of law is one of the oldest specialty fields in the discipline, reflecting the influence of nineteenth‐century jurists like Sir Henry Maine (1861) on writers of the founding generation like Tönnies, Weber, and Durkheim. Although it has been a less significant area over the last half century, it is currently undergoing a revival, mainly through its contribution to interdisciplinary studies in law and society alongside law, history, political science, anthropology, and social psychology
