Table of ContentsReviewsThe Place of Law is a worthy successor to an outstanding series of edited collections on law and culture. The essays range from the Stalinist Soviet Union to the scientific laboratory, from the Internet to the nation-state and back; they explore why places and metaphors of places seem to matter so much to law, and how new structures of freedom may produce new forms of control. --Jack M. Balkin, Yale Law School --Jack M. Balkin, Yale Law School (8/28/2003 12:00:00 AM) Recent scholarship has rediscovered the spatial dimension of society. This volume brings together some of the leading lights of that revival with some of the most innovative scholars in sociolegal studies, to reconsider the place of law and law's capacity to put people in their place. At a time when power relentlessly promotes a generic version of the rule of law as a mandatory salvation for all peoples and places, The Place of Law offers a vital rejoinder. --Jonathan Simon, University of California, Berkeley --Jonathan Simon, University of California, Berkeley (8/28/2003 12:00:00 AM) Recent scholarship has rediscovered the spatial dimension of society.
