Abstract :
The research paper delves into the multifaceted landscape of the sociology of law, unraveling its evolution from classical sociological theories to contemporary interdisciplinary engagements. Rooted in the works of Max Weber and Émile Durkheim, the sociology of law emerges as a dynamic field that explores the intricate relationship between law and society. The classical sociologists’ foundational insights, including Weber’s conceptualization of a “legal rational form” and Durkheim’s exploration of the transformation of law, set the stage for a comprehensive understanding of law as a social institution. The paper navigates through key developments in the sociology of law, incorporating perspectives from Leon Petrazycki, Eugen Ehrlich, and Georges Gurvitch. It explores debates within legal positivism, particularly the critique by Hans Kelsen, shedding light on distinctions between positive state law and the informal norms regulating everyday life. The work of Theodor Geiger expands the sociological analysis to incorporate Marxist theories, emphasizing law as a factor in social transformation within democratic societies. Post-World War II, the sociology of law gains academic prominence, with scholars like Talcott Parsons emphasizing law’s role as a mechanism for social control. The paper explores diverse perspectives, including critical sociologists viewing law as an instrument of power and Philip Selznick advocating for a moral approach to law. The American sociologist Donald Black contributes a scientific theory of law based on pure sociology, while Jürgen Habermas engages in a discourse challenging systems-oriented perspectives. The Law and Society movement, emerging in the United States, marks a shift toward interdisciplinary engagement with law. Empirical studies within this movement, such as William Felstiner’s work on conflict resolution, exemplify the commitment to understanding law beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. Methodological diversity within the sociology of law is emphasized, encompassing qualitative and quantitative research techniques, discourse analysis, and ethnography.
