Socio-Legal Studies in Context Summary

Socio-Legal Studies in Context: The Oxford Centre Past and Future by Denis J. Galligan (Oxford Centre for Socio-Legal Studies)

Socio-Legal Studies in Context is the first attempt to take stock of the development of socio-legal studies in the United Kingdom. With an increasing awareness amongst legal scholars of the need for socio-legal research, this volume is essential reading for all teachers of law and law related subjects. It will provide rich ideas for young researchers wishing to involve themselves in the socio-legal approach. The volume also provides an opportunity for more experienced researchers to look back and re-assess their own work and help them form their own plans for the future.
