This book provides a selective and somewhat cheeky account of
prominent positions in legal theory, such as American legal
realism, modern legal positivism, sociological systems theory,
institutionalism and critical legal studies. It presents a
relational approach to law and a new perspective on legal sources.
The book explores topics of legal theory in a playful manner. It is
written and composed in a way that refutes the widespread prejudice
that legal theory is a dreary subject, with a cast of characters
that occasionally interact in order to illustrate the claims of the
book. Legal experts claim to know what the law is. Legal theory-or
jurisprudence-explores whether such claims are warranted. The
discipline first emerged at the turn of the 20th century, when the
self-confidence of both legal scholarship and judicial
craftsmanship became severely shattered, but the crisis continues
to this day.
