The Rise and Fall of Critical Legal Studies

Oct. 17, 2024
12:10PM - 1:15PM
SLB Room 124
Open to the Yale Community

Please join us for a conversation between Professor Samuel Moyn and James Gilchrist Stewart about Stewart’s new book, The Rise and Fall of Critical Legal Studies, a wide-ranging intellectual history of the CLS movement that draws from personal accounts, academic works, and the media. Stewart argues that CLS “passively haunts” the legal landscape and accordingly constricts emerging critiques of law. Moyn and Stewart will discuss the origins of CLS, its key contributions, and what its legacy means for contemporary legal theories, including Law and Political Economy (LPE).
