Critical Legal Studies: A Guide To The Literature

Bauman (law, U. of Alberta) has organized a reading list for critical legal studies, creating a handbook for radical critique in response to established legal doctrines. As the author emphasizes in the preface, his bibliographies are not exhaustive, and the commentary at each chapter head is merely suggestive of the material; however this is an important source for beginning a critical legal study. The subject headings include the major veins of law practice (criminal, corporate, property, labor, international), and less discussed arteries in relation to law: feminism, critical race theory, Marxism, environmental law, the welfare state, literature, and the work of Roberto Unger.
