Legal Intellectuals in Conversation: Reflections on the Construction of Contemporary American Legal Theory

In this unique volume, James Hackney invites readers to
enter the minds of 10 legal experts that in the late 20th century changed the
way we understand and use theory in law today. True to the title of the book,
Hackney spent hours in conversation with legal intellectuals, interviewing them
about their early lives as thinkers and scholars, their contributions to
American legal theory, and their thoughts regarding some fundamental
theoretical questions in legal academe, particularly the law/politics debate. Legal
Intellectuals in Conversation is a veritable “Who’s
Who” of legal thought, presented in a sophisticated yet
intimate manner.
