In the 50 years since the founding of the Center for the Study of Law and Society at the University of California, Berkeley by Philip Selznick with funding from the Russell Sage Foundation, the field of law and society has been firmly established in research centers and academic associations, in doctoral programs and in the legal academy. But law and society may be at a time of transition, and the time to consider the future direction of the field is upon us. What are the key questions to ask moving forward? What will be the field’s substantive strengths? Its theories? Its methods? Its institutional homes? In this Conference we bring together law and society scholars at the forefront of a range of disciplines and ask them to consider the future of the field from the lens of their own research questions, theories and methods. Through their choices of topics, theory and methodology, and through their career paths and the direction of their students, they represent those who are shaping the future of the field.
