Laying Down the Law: Mysticism, Fetishism, and the American Legal Mind - Critical America
Pierre Schlag
At a time when complaints are heard about the excesses of lawyers, judges, and law itself, the author focuses on the American legal mind and its urge to lay down the law. He prompts us to move beyond the facile self-congratulatory self-representations of the law so that we may think critically about its identity, effects, and limitations.
