“…. sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought," Handler (1992a, p. 726) acknowledged that "reflexivity becomes disabling," and Mather (2003) expressed concern about cultural imperialism. Handler's hope for consensus through Habermas's "discursive and argumentative practices" must confront the bitter partisan politics of recent decades.…”

“…37 Lynn Mather similarly observed, 'By the 1980s, law and society critics of positivism raised serious challenges to the [positivist] paradigm and articulated postrealist, interpretive, and constitutive approaches to law'. 38 And in 1984, David Trubek published an article with the revealing title 'Where the Action is: Critical Legal Studies and Empiricism'.

This article aims to deepen scholarly understanding of the Law and Society Movement (L&S) and thereby strengthen debates about the relation between Empirical Legal Studies (ELS) and L&S. The article departs from the observation that ELS, understood as an initiative that emerged in American law schools in the early 2000s, has been quite successful in generating more attention to the empirical study of law and legal institutions in law schools, both in-and outside the US. In the early years of its existence, L&S -another important site for the empirical study of law and legal institutionsalso had its center of gravity inside the law schools. But over time, it shifted towards the social sciences. This article discusses how that happened, and more in general explains how L&S became ever more diverse in terms of substance, theory and methods. 134

One 5 Lynn Mather's 2002 presidential address (Mather 2003) lays out the case for LSA's increased commitment to international scholars and scholarship; the accompanying commentaries both expand the discussion and raise important caveats. 6 Non-U.S. scholars are now well-represented as committee members and chairs, and in 2004 John Braithwaite became the first non-U.S. scholar to receive the Kalven Prize.…”
