| Overview
Cultures
of the Sociology of Law
“Reviewing
the development and state of the sociology of law across the world,...
the sociology of law in various nations benefited from the activities of
certain charismatic scholars that functioned as ‘moral entrepreneurs’ to
institutionalize the sociological specialty... [and] the specialty has
typically not evolved independently from within sociology alone, but has
also grown out of the legal sciences.” (p.272)
Boundaries
of the Sociology of Law
"The
most defining characteristic of the sociology of law is the specific manner
in which it approaches law in disciplinary terms... the sociology of law
offers something unique and valuable next to the other specialty fields
in the discipline as much as it does among other social-science perspectives
of law. From this perspective, interdisciplinarity always implies a strengthening
of the boundaries and foundations of disciplinarity.” (pp.274-275)
