Riassunto

Once considered a stepchild of social theory, legal criticism has recently received a great deal of attention, perpetuating what has always been an ambivalent relationship. On the one hand, law is praised for being a cultural achievement, on the other, it is criticized for being an instrument of state oppression. Legal criticism&;s strategies to deal with this ambivalence differ greatly. While some seek to transcend the institution of law altogether, others advocate a transformation of the form of law or try to employ strategies to change the content of law, deconstruct its basis, or invent rights. By presenting a variety of approaches to legal criticism, What&;s Legit? highlights transitions and exhibits irreconcilable differences of these approaches. Ultimately, What&;s Legit? broadens debates that are all too often conducted only within the boundaries of separate theoretical currents.
