"Originally published in 1981 Law, State and Society confronts many of the most important issues within the developing field of law and society. The essays cover the key political debates and the subject of the sociology of law through two key debates, the first tackling the wider theoretical and political system, while the other essays are concerned with more concrete aspects of both the political and social face of law. Together, the essays show how crucial the potential is that exists for a considerable extension and integration of work that focuses explicitly on empirical problems, yet is at the same time more conscious of the theoretical issues that underpin the effectivity of law. "--Provided by publisher.

The premises of the emerging field of feminist jurisprudence are examined, & some basic works in this field are critically reviewed. While feminist legal scholars agree that law, both as an institution & as an academic enterprise, contains an inherent male bias, they differ in their explanations of its origins & effects. Several of these scholars emphasize gender differences, rather than male domination, in their critiques of law. Here, analysis of "difference jurisprudence" concludes that it has no adequate theory of gender difference, & that the existing scholarship rests on premises dangerous to sexual equality. 71 References.
