Synopsis
Law and Society Today is a problem-oriented survey of sociolegal studies, with a unique emphasis on recent historical and political developments. Whereas other texts focus heavily on criminal procedure, this book foregrounds the significant changes of the 2000s and 2010s, including neoliberalism, migration, multiculturalism, and the large influence of law and economics in law teaching, policy debates, and judicial decision-making.
Each chapter presents key concepts, real-world applications, and hypothetical problems that allow students to test comprehension. With an integrated approach to theory and practice and written in an accessible tone, this text helps students recognize the dynamic forces that shape the way the law is constructed and implemented, particularly how law drives social inequality.

From the Back Cover
"This is the book many people have been waiting for: a definitive, beautifully written, incisive introduction to the sprawling field of law and society that also ranges across diverse disciplines and subject areas yet is knit together by a commitment to explore real-world problems of justice for ordinary people in the here and now."—Ariela Gross, Professor of Law and History, University of Southern California Gould School of Law
“For more than half a century, scholars have examined the interrelationship of law, social norms, and social change, producing a rich body of scholarly literature for consumption and study. Professor Riaz Tejani has brilliantly added further definition to this important and expanding field through this innovative and pathbreaking textbook and has laid a foundation for the creation of even more courses and formal textbooks in the field.”—Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Dean and Professor of Boston University School of Law
