| | Critical Perspectives on Rights |
| | A legal right evokes the idea of a domain protected by law within which the individual is free to do as he or she pleases, and the arrangements ensuring that freedom are fair, neutral, and equitable. | | | Legal interpretations happen when nonofficials seek to hold officials to account, either in terms the officials themselves have offered as rationales or in new terms embodying normative commitments that have not before made their way into the official canon of meaning. | | | Legal victories may have ideological value even where they lack material effects; a court victory can mark the entry of previously excluded groups into the discourse of rights which holds ideological importance inside the nation. |

| | 3.3 - Critical Legal Practice: Beyond Abstract Radicalism |
| | Critical legal studies in Britain claims essentially to be a progressive intellectual challenge to the dominant traditions in legal scholarship. | | | But his definition of legal practice, which includes involvement in research and development of the law and legal services, is unlikely to be accepted by the mainstream practitioner. | | | And second, a significant erosion of the monopoly of legal knowledge is not in the lawyer's interest either, for if this base begins to wither away then so does the claim of the lawyer to power and privileges in society. |

| | Review of The Critical Legal Studies Movement |
| | In this sense legal decisions are really policy choices, and the legal realists insisted they should be informed by the best knowledge, legal or extralegal, and not based solely on the artificial authority of earlier cases. | | | The legal problems of the common law system are real enough to be discussed in the language of the Anglo-American legal tradition. | | | ''Mature'' jurists, legal realists insisted, should act creatively, imaginatively and intelligently to reach just results, and law schools should train their students not to be conventional parsers of bygone cases but to become active participants in that purposive process, law, by which society makes many of its most far-reaching and delicate decisions. |

| | Philosophy of Law [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Accordingly, an unjust law can be legally valid, but cannot provide an adequate justification for use of the state coercive power and is hence not obligatory in the fullest sense; thus, an unjust law fails to realize the moral ideals implicit in the concept of law. | | | According to the formalist model, the legal outcome (i.e., the holding) logically follows from the legal rule (major premise) and a statement of the relevant facts (minor premise). | | | Issues in legal philosophy range from abstract conceptual questions about the nature of law and legal systems to normative questions about the relation between law and morality and the justification for various legal institutions. |

| | IDEOLOGY AND COMMUNITY IN THE FIRST WAVE OF CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES |
| | Chapter 3 moves on to consider the account of liberal legal consciousness that critical legal scholars claim pervades and distorts the “modern concept of law; legal institutions; and the respective roles of citizens, lawyers, judges, and legislators” (p.43). | | | For example, Bauman criticizes CLS for not having a conceptual foundation (an external standard of truth) to demystify the liberal legal consciousness claimed to be inherent in the law. | | | Consequently, the liberal promise of an autonomous legal system fails because neither legal rules nor an orderly set of policies or values can provide a logic for deciding contract disputes that is autonomous from moral, economic, and political premises. |

| | E Law: Wormes in the entrayles: the corporate citizen in law? - Text |
| | Pound criticised their conception 'of legal principles as incapable of interdependence and logical connection' which emphasised the uncertainty of the law and misrepresented the high degree of certainty in the law. | | | He also wrote: 'legal institutions fix and guarantee the presuppositions on which the economic order rests.'[105] More radical Realists argued that the role of lawyers in legal institutions was to perform, or resist, the frauds required to support the controllers of corporate fortunes. | | | A corollary of the uncertainty of the legal rules, in the common law system, is that there is a legal answer to every question asking 'what is the law concerning this matter?'. |

| | Critical Legal Studies |
| | The purpose of Critical Legal Studies is "to explore the manner in which legal doctrine and legal education and the practice of legal institutions work to buttress and support a pervasive system of oppresive, egalitarian relations." | | | They sought to show that legal doctrine is contradictory, that legal rules are indeterminate, and that the operation fo legal institutions is systematically biased in favor of economically and socially prieledged elites. | | | They argued that legal categories, by crating and maintaining certain descriptions of soical and legal arrangments, foreclose other eays of thinging about and organizing human life. |
