Realistic Socio-Legal Theory : Pragmatism and a Social Theory of Law Hardback
by Brian Z. (Associate Professor, Associate Professor, St John's University School of Law, Ne Tamanaha
Part of the Oxford Socio-Legal Studies series
Hardback
Description
Combining philosophical pargmatism with a methodological foundation, Tamanaha formulates a framework for a realistic approach to socio-legal theory.
The strengths of this approach are contrasted with that of the major schools of socio-legal theory by application to core issues in this area.
Thus Tamanaha explores the problematic state of socio-legal studies, the relationship between behaviour and meaning, the notion of legal ideology, the problem of indeterminacy in rule following and application, and the structure of judicial decision making.
These issues are tackled in a clear and concise fashion while articulating a social theory of law which draws equally from legal theory and socio-legal theory.
