Legal Realism and American Law (Paperback)

In the first part of the 20th century, a group of law scholars
offered engaging, and occasionally disconcerting, views on the role
of judges and the relationship between law and politics in the
United States. These legal realists borrowed methods from the
social sciences to carefully study the law as experienced by
lawyers, judges, and average citizens and promoted a progressive
vision for American law and society. Legal realism investigated the
nature of legal reasoning, the purpose of law, and the role of
judges. The movement asked questions which reshaped the study of
jurisprudence and continue to drive lively debates about the law
and politics in classrooms, courtrooms, and even the halls of
Congress. This thorough analysis provides an introduction to the
ideas, context, and leading personalities of legal realism. It
helps situate an important movement in legal theory in the context
of American politics and political thought and will be of great
interest to students of judicial politics, American constitutional
development, and political theory.
