Society and Law addresses the social context of law, the legal structure, and the relationships between society and law. The goal of this text is to help undergraduate students gain an understanding of the significant role law plays in our everyday lives and in larger society. It covers emerging theories and ideas from innovative fields such as critical legal studies, feminist jurisprudence, critical race theories, and intersectionality. Society & Law summarizes the material as succinctly as possible, incorporating examples of new laws, changes in laws, and legal cases that interest college students and help them connect the material to their own lives. The law can be fascinating, frustrating, and even funny. Society & Law presents these various aspects of the law in readable, understandable, and interesting ways.
