Once considered a stepchild of social theory, legal criticism has
recently received a great deal of attention, perpetuating what has
always been an ambivalent relationship. On the one hand, law is
praised for being a cultural achievement, on the other, it is
criticized for being an instrument of state oppression. Legal
criticism's strategies to deal with this ambivalence differ
greatly. While some seek to transcend the institution of law
altogether, others advocate a transformation of the form of law or
try to employ strategies to change the content of law, deconstruct
its basis, or invent rights. By presenting a variety of approaches
to legal criticism, What's Legit? highlights transitions and
exhibits irreconcilable differences of these approaches.
Ultimately, What's Legit? broadens debates that are all too often
conducted only within the boundaries of separate theoretical
currents.
