Law as a humanities discipline: Transformative potential and political limits

Abstract

From text: In this special edition of Acta Academica, we called for contributions to engage in critical reflections on law as a humanities discipline against the background of US Crit Karl Klare’s suggestion of transformative constitutionalism. We were interested in, for example, reflections on law’s epistemological foundations, how the law intersects with historical analyses and with society. A pertinent question was: To what extent does present legal education and training give expression to the transformative ideal of a new order?
