An accessible overview and critique of the Critical Legal Studies movement, examining its challenge to liberal legal thought, law and economics, and conventional ideas about legal rules, values and individual freedom.

Kelman surveys the movement’s major arguments and internal tensions, placing Critical Legal Studies within broader debates in jurisprudence, political philosophy and the sociology of law.
