Cultural Study of Law Reconstructing Legal Scholarship

Belief in the rule of law characterizes our society, our political order, and even our identity as citizens. The Cultural Study of Law is the first full examination of what it means to conduct a modern intellectual inquiry into the culture of law. Paul Kahn outlines the tools necessary for such an inquiry by analyzing the concepts of time, space, citizen, judge, sovereignty, and theory within the culture of law's rule. Charting the way for the development of a new intellectual discipline, Paul Kahn advocates an approach that stands outside law's normative framework and looks at law as a way of life rather than as a set of rules.Kahn, Paul W. is the author of 'Cultural Study of Law Reconstructing Legal Scholarship' with ISBN 9780226422558 and ISBN 0226422550.
