Law in Context: Enlarging A Discipline

by William Twining

Overview

This collection treats the academic discipline of law as an enterprise that includes not only education, but also scholarship, theorizing, and the production of literature. The essays offer a coherent exploration of the study of law and a radical reappraisal of the role, culture, and practices of law schools.
