A central theme of law and society is that people's ideas about law
and the decisions they make to mobilize law are shaped by community
norms and cultural context. But this was not always an established
concept. Among the first empirical pieces to articulate this theory
was David Engel's 1984 article, 'The Oven Bird's Song: Insiders,
Outsiders, and Personal Injuries in an American Community'. Over
thirty years later, this article is now widely considered to be
part of the law and society canon. This book argues that Engel's
article succeeds so brilliantly because it integrates a wide
variety of issues, such as cultural transformation, attitudes about
law, dispute processing, legal consciousness, rights mobilization,
inclusion and exclusion, and inequality. Contributors to this
volume explore the influence of Engel's important work, engaging
with the possibilities in its challenging hypotheses and
provocative omissions related to the legal system and legal
process, class conflict and difference, and law in other cultures.
