It engages with the assumption that not only the law's existence but also its development is shaped by the layperson's affirmations, oppositions, ignorance, or negations of the law. This volume thus aims to fill a void in socio-legal studies. Whereas many sociolegal theories tend to conceptualize the law through legal experts' actions, institutions, procedures, and codifications, it argues that such a viewpoint underestimates the role of laypeople in the law's processing and advocates for a strengthened conceptual place in socio-legal theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to socio-legal scholars and sociologists (of law), as well as to legal practitioners and laypersons themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Kretschmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367680971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367680978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Andrea Kretschmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47199846498559,"sku":"9780367680978","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_339abeff-7086-46b9-8d85-1a36362939ee.jpg?v=1756785369","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/laypeople-in-law-andrea-kretschmann-9780367680978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
