Overview

In Sappho Goes to Law School Ruthann Robson weaves together concepts taken from traditional legal theory, postmodernism, feminist theory, and queer theory, as well as her own personal experience in the courtroom and classroom, to take stock of the complexities of lesbian identity and the often detrimental ways in which legal scholarship approaches lesbianism.

Pointedly provocative and witty. . . . Applying queer theory to her examination of the legal system and legal theory to the concept of lesbianism, Robson confronts the complexity of such issues as lesbian identity, class, violence, marriage, and parenting. The writing, a heady mix of pedagogy, lesbian sex, and jurisprudence, is . . . iconoclastic but always intellectually stimulating.
