As a result, political scientists have ignored the political struggles of one of the most important legal reform movements of the 1980s and overlooked the hope for leftist reform that existed within American law schools during this period. Critical Legal Studies and the Campaign for American Law Schools tells the story of the critical legal studies movement. This formidable movement sought to fundamentally reconstruct law schools, train a new generation of leftist lawyers, and replace the dominant form of legal consciousness governing the American legal system. Instead of projecting a fatalism onto leftist reform, this book relies on extensive archival research and interviews to illuminate the radical potential that lived in the American legal academy of the 1980s. The critical legal studies movement was a towering presence in the law schools, and its legacy continues to hold out political possibilities and reform lessons for leftist legal scholars today. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Moving beyond conservative capture -- The birth of the CLS movement -- The promise of CLS retrenchment -- Towards influence and institutionalization -- Retrenchment repelled -- Critical lessons and the campaign that continues. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Critical legal studies $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Law $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Law schools $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Law $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Critical legal studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883668 650 7 $a Law $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993795 650 7 $a Law schools. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994121 650 7 $a Law $x Study and teaching (Higher) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993857 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030823788 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020015057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=81C99E1E8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
