In recent years, legal studies courses have increased the focus on
contemporary social issues as part of the curriculum. Law and
Society: An Introduction discusses the interface between these two
institutions and encourages students in the development of new
insights on the topic. The book begins by introducing definitions,
classifications, and the concept of the "rule of law." It then
explores: Principal legal systems, including common law, civil law,
Islamic and socialist systems, and American Indian law Feminist
legal theories, critical race theory, and the roles of morality and
values in social control The contributions of sociological research
and its impact on the law Court systems and procedures, the
exclusionary rule, and plea bargaining The nature and process of
legislative, administrative, and judicial lawmaking Alternative
dispute resolution and international arbitration and mediation The
law as a mechanism for social changes, such as those brought on by
the 1964 Civil Rights Act Issues related to the legal profession
and professional responsibility This text eliminates the need for a
separate reader by also discussing controversial legal
topics-including affirmative action, education, the death penalty,
right to work laws, and abortion. Each chapter builds on the
previous ones and includes concrete examples of the issues
involved. Enhanced by chapter summaries of salient points, review
questions, and practical exercises, the book is designed to
encourage students in the development of new insights into the
relationships between law and society.
