Film and television interpretations of the legal system have captured the imagination of the American public, but how does the law really work? More specifically, how does it shape other social institutions and interact with other academic disciplines? Blending legal studies with social science, Law, Justice, and Society: A Sociolegal Introduction, Second Edition, addresses these issues from a distinctive sociological point of view.Renowned scholars Anthony Walsh and Craig Hemmens cover many important subjects including the origins of the law, the history and development of the American legal system, the sociology of law, court structure, and the difference between civil and criminal law. Updating coverage for the second edition, the authors also discuss many new topics (legal realism, distributive and procedural justice, the politics of law and the legislative process, restorative justice, and gay marriage and the Defense of Marriage Act).An accessible, lively, and affordable overview of the law, its eventful history, and its sociological implications, Law, Justice, and Society, Second Edition, is ideal for introductory law and society courses in political science, sociology, and criminal justice and legal studies departments.
