Law and the Social Sciences was first published in 1966. Minnesota
Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable
books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions. The author, a
distinguished authority on law, provides an illuminating and
challenging discussion of the social aspects of law and legal
problems. As a background to some penetrating observations, he
takes stock of the contributions and interrelations of the bodies
of knowledge, from both the juristic and the social science side,
which bear upon the study of law at the present time. He is
concerned to show the respects in which jurisprudential ideas in
this area have been stimulated and clarified by work in the social
sciences, and, conversely, to draw attention to the need for the
increased interest of social scientists in this area to take
account of juristic insights, many of them of long standing. He
points out some of the dangers, not limited to waste of effort,
arising from "parochialism" on the part of either the lawyer or the
social scientist. The final section is devoted to a study of the
contributions, potentialities, and limits of behavioralist and
computer techniques in understanding and operating the appellate
judicial process. The book is based on a series of three lectures
given by the author as the William S. Pattee Memorial Lectures
sponsored by the University of Minnesota Law School.
