Extract

Ten years ago, in the first issue of this review, Carl A. Auerbach criticized some early statements of an emerging “Berkeley perspective” in the sociology of law (Auerbach, 1966). Selznick, Skolnick, Carlin, and I were chided for proposing in various terms that a central concern of the sociology of law should be to study the social foundations of the ideal of legality (Selznick, 1961; 1968; Skolnick, 1965; Carlin and Nonet, 1968).
