readers to the dominant theoretical perspectives and sociological
methods that are used to explain the interplay between law and
society. This twelfth edition continues to preserve Professor
Vago's voice, while Steven E. Barkan's use of chapter outlines and

district courts Updated data on sexual harassment of attorneys and
new data on representation of women and people of color among law
school faculty New discussions of legal issues arising from the
Covid-19 pandemic. The twelfth edition of Law and Society is a

and Society, Sociology of Law, and Introduction to Law offered

Science.
