All Critical Legal Studies and Modern Theory

Critical Legal Studies and Modern Theory gathers the jurists and legal scholars of the later twentieth and twenty first century movements that built on, and often argued against, legal positivism and legal realism: critical legal studies, critical race theory, feminist legal theory, law and economics, and the broader body of contemporary American and European constitutional and jurisprudential theory. 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.
