Society's Choice And Legal Change, Alan Watson Jul 1981

Society's Choice And Legal Change, Alan Watson

Scholarly Works

This Article is one of a continuing series of writings by the author on both the connection between a society and the legal rules and institutions that operate within it and on the forces that control legal change. My aim is to express more clearly than I have previously the role of lawyers and the legal tradition in changing the law, and the implications of this role for social choice theory in the realm of law.
