Legal education and the reproduction of hierarchy : a polemic against the system : a critical edition

Duncan Kennedy ; with commentaries by Paul Carrington ... [et al.]

Every discipline has its canon: the set of standard texts, approaches, examples, and stories by which it is recognized and which its members repeatedly invoke and employ. Although the last twenty-five years have seen the influence of interdisciplinary approaches to legal studies expand, there has been little recent consideration of what is and what ought to be canonical in the study of law today. "Legal Canons" brings together fifteen essays which seek to map out the legal canon and the way in which law is taught today. In order to understand how the twin ideas of canons and canonicity operate in law, each essay focuses on a particular aspect, from contracts and constitutional law to questions of race and gender. The ascendance of law and economics, feminism, critical race theory, and gay legal studies, as well as the increasing influence of both rational-actor methodology and postmodernism, are all scrutinized by the leading scholars in the field. A timely and comprehensive volume, "Legal Canons" articulates the need for, and means to, opening the debate on canonicity in legal studies.

In 1983, Harvard law professor Duncan Kennedy self-published a biting critique of the law school system called "Legal Education and the Reproduction of Hierarchy". It influenced a generation of law students and teachers and remains one of the most cited works on American legal education. The visually striking original text is reprinted here, making it available to a new generation. The text is buttressed by commentaries from five prominent legal scholars who consider its meaning today, as well as by an introduction and afterword by the author that describe the context in which Kennedy wrote the book, including a brief history of critical legal studies.
