Its members range from the founders of these specific movements to the modern constitutional theorists, legal historians and general jurisprudence scholars whose work does not fit neatly into an older, more settled school.FactsAll Critical Legal Studies and Modern TheorySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining CharacteristicWell-attestedCritical legal studies theorists who view laws as devised to maintain the societal status quo and codify its biases against marginalized groups. 1Formation YearWell-attested1970 CE 1All Critical Legal Studies and Modern TheoryFilter Results40 entriesRoleAllJurist and political philosopher (1)Law professor and criminologist (1)Law professor, scholar, and activist (1)Legal academic (1)Legal historian and law professor at Harvard Law School (1)Legal philosopher (1)Legal philosopher and politician (1)Legal Scholar (3)Legal scholar (torts, property, law and economics) (1)Legal scholar and author known for his studies of U.S (1)Legal scholar and political philosopher (1)Legal scholar known for his work in U.S (1)Legal scholar, director of the American Law Institute (1)Moral, legal and political philosopher (1)Noted American legal scholar (1)Politician (1)Politician and lawyer (1)Soviet politician, jurist and diplomat (1)Nationality or JurisdictionAllAmerican (14)Argentine (1)Austrian (1)Brazil (1)British (1)Canadian (1)German (2)Italian (1)Latvian (1)New Zealand (1)Russian (2)Scottish (1)Soviet (3)United States (4)Legal SystemAllCommon Law (1)German Legal System (4)Law of Argentina (1)Law of Austria (1)Law of Brazil (2)Law of Canada (1)Law of Italy (1)Law of Spain (1)Law of the Soviet Union (2)Law of the United Kingdom (1)Law of the United States (21)New Zealand Law (1)Scots Law (1)Field of LawAllAdministrative Law (4)Civil / Private Law (2)Common Law (1)Comparative Law (1)Constitutional Law (10)Criminal Law (4)Environmental Law (2)Human Rights Law (3)International Law (1)Legal Philosophy and Jurisprudence (16)GenderAllFemale (2)Male (35)Court Served OnAllUnited States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 40Akhil Reed AmarLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceAndrey VyshinskyLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceBruce AckermanLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceCarl SchmittLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceCarlos Santiago NinoLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceCass SunsteinLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceCatharine MacKinnonLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceDerrick BellLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceDuncan KennedyLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceErnest WeinribLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceErnst ForsthoffLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceErnst FreundLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceErwin ChemerinskyLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceEvgeny PashukanisLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceFrank MichelmanLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceGuido CalabresiLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceHenning VoscherauLegal Philosophy and JurisprudenceHerbert L.
