Sociology of Law in Britain.

This article reviews the state of law and society studies in Britain by revisiting the arguments raised by C.M. Campbell and Paul Wiles in the late 1970s. It argues that the divide they identified between theoretically-oriented “sociology of law” and a-theoretical or empiricist “socio-legal studies” has widened, discusses some of the cultural and institutional reasons, and makes some practical recommendations.
