Description

Place of Law : The Role and Limits of Law in Society, Hardcover by Barnett, L.... Place of Law : The Role and Limits of Law in Society, Hardcover by Barnett, Larry D., ISBN 1412842581, ISBN-13 9781412842587, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Barnett (law, Widener U.) explores the interaction between law and society, arguing that the institution of law in economically advanced and socially complex countries is essentially a reactive mechanism that responds to changes in the core activities and values of social life and is an ineffective regulator of behavior and, therefore, an ineffective mechanism for (re)shaping society. The argument is supported, firstly, through explorations of the social character of investment law and, secondly, with quantitative studies that investigate sociological, demographic, and economic conditions of different jurisdictions as antecedents to abortion law in the United States, the law of same-sex relationships in Europe, and state regulation of lawyers in the US.
