ReviewsIt is a gold mine. Reading it could send your mind everywhere and makes you think of other ways of making the classroom more interactive. I suggested it to someone who is also using it for a sociology of law class., This is a well rounded book that seems more interesting to students than other books I have used. It provides information on some cutting-edge themes in law and society while staying well grounded in the theories used by law and society practitioners., It is a blend between a classic law and society textbook with contemporary legal issues. It provides the students with the ability to see connections between theory and practice that few other law and society books have provided., I would describe the text as a great basic overview of law and society. It is well organized and very readable. I like the emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach as well as the highlighting of international issues.
