The Oxford Handbook of International Law and Development is a unique overview of the field of international law and development, examining how normative beliefs and assumptions around development are instantiated in law, and critically examining disciplinary frameworks, competing agendas, legal actors and institutions, and alternative futures.

Reading Modern Law identifies and elaborates upon key critical methodologies for reading and writing about law in modernity.

The key question this dynamic of law raises is how legal forms might be deployed to confront and disrupt injustice. The urgency of this question must not eclipse the care its complexity demands.

The essays gathered for this symposium reflect a number of overlapping concerns about contemporary legal knowledge and education. Though they are considerably diverse in focus and subject-matter, ranging from admissions to films to "marketing" of law faculties, each of these articles addresses aspects of legal education, the construction of legal knowledge and the character of what Ian Duncanson calls "the law discipline." Educational practice, knowledge and disciplinarity are thoroughly inter-related. The contributors to this volume are all acutely aware that, as educators and researchers, we both: participate in the construction of legal knowledge (for the readers of learned journals, for our students, for ourselves, occasionally for the media or in representative roles) AND are subjected to constructions and constraints on legal knowledges produced elsewhere (in courts, in legislatures, government ministries, law offices, law societies, in the research of others, in political parties, in the media and the discourses of daily life and, pre-eminently, in radio talk-shows, US television sitcoms and television commercials). In short, we "construct" legal knowledge, but not entirely under conditions of our own choosing. The construction of legal knowledge is important to us. It affects our lives. In many ways it is our lives.
