2101 Mapping the current state of socio-legal studies I - Featured Session
Room: B2.03
In Mexico City, we discussed the current state of the sociology of law as an empirical field of study. In Lisbon, we would like to expand the scope of our discussion and focus on wider cross-disciplinary field of socio-legal studies including the sociology of law. The panelists will explore the configuration of social science disciplines studying law in different countries that together shape the profile of the subject-matter that can be placed under the umbrella of socio-legal studies, together with the balance between theoretical and empirical approaches and the philosophical grounding that supports the field intellectually. For instance, in some countries the sociology of law is used interchangeably with socio-legal studies whereas in others it is an insignificant stream of it; some countries display a strong empirical orientation, while in other places the move is towards theoretical discussions of the nature of law, blending with jurisprudence. In this roundtable, we hope to examine developments in different countries and explore the drivers that influence the direction they take (Sessions organized by Masayuki Murayama).
