Read Chapter One.
Every discipline has its canon: the set of standard texts,
approaches, examples, and stories by which it is recognized and
which its members repeatedly invoke and employ. Although the last
twenty-five years have seen the influence of interdisciplinary
approaches to legal studies expand, there has been little recent
consideration of what is and what ought to be canonical in the
study of law today.
Legal Canons brings together fifteen essays which seek to map
out the legal canon and the way in which law is taught today. In
order to understand how the twin ideas of canons and canonicity
operate in law, each essay focuses on a particular aspect, from
contracts and constitutional law to questions of race and gender.
The ascendance of law and economics, feminism, critical race
theory, and gay legal studies, as well as the increasing influence
of both rational-actor methodology and postmodernism, are all
scrutinized by the leading scholars in the field.
A timely and comprehensive volume, Legal Canons articulates the
need for, and means to, opening the debate on canonicity in legal
studies.
