Crime Without Punishment
No full textIn this compelling book, Lawrence M. Friedman looks at situations where killing is condemned by law but not by social norms and, therefore, is rarely punished. He shows how penal codes categorize homicides by degree of intent, which are in turn based on society's sense of moral outrage. Despite being officially defined as murder, many homicides have historically gone unpunished. Friedman looks at early vigilante justice, crimes of passion, murder of necessity, mercy killings, and assisted suicides. In his explorations of these unpunished homicides, Friedman probes what these circumstances tell us about conflicts in social and cultural norms and the interaction of law and society
Then and Now : Lawrence Friedman as an Analyst of Social and Legal Change
No full textHOW TO CLASSIFY LAWRENCE FRIEDMAN? A conventional manner of opening an academic discussion about sociology of law often consists in re-proposing a well-known distinction between “the sociology of law of sociologists” and “the sociology of law of jurists.” This distinction is a cornerstone in the methodological writings of Renato Treves, for example, who was one of the pioneers of the renaissance of this discipline after World War II; according to Treves, this distinction has solid roots in the different cultural origins, as well as in the diverse methodological choices, of the scholars belonging to the fields of either sociology or law. On the one side, he said that one finds such sociologists as Saint-Simon or Marx, Comte or Durkheim, all builders of complex systems of social thought. On the other, one encounters those jurists, such as Duguit, Pound, Holmes, or Ehrlich, who took an antiformalist stance as opposed to the traditional juristic method. The former aimed at a “macro-sociology” that would describe how the legal system works within the whole social system, whereas the latter aimed at a “micro-sociology,” in that they looked at the actual life of legal institutions and observed how nonlegal relations between social actors affected those institutions. Echoing Weber and Kelsen, Treves argued that sociology of law was indisputably part of sociology, not of jurisprudence, but its object (i.e., law) was so peculiar, technically and conceptually, that only well-trained jurists could really grasp it

Law, science, and technology ::historical and social context /
No full text"Through a series of historical analyses, Friedman explores the relationship between the legal system and the development of modern science and technology. The scientific revolution produced major changes in culture; and these, in turn, led to changes in government and law. The book covers, among other topics, the transportation revolution; the camera and the entertainment industry; "germ theory" and its influence on modern society; and the role of culture and technology in the sexual revolution." --"Lawrence M. Friedman is the Marion Rice Kirkwood Professor of Law at Stanford University. He is a leading historian of American law, and a leading scholar associated with the law and society movement. He is the author or editor of more than 30 books on these subjects"-

Review of Law in America: A Short History, by Lawrence M. Friedman
Full text link[Excerpt] Lawrence M. Friedman’s Law in America: A Short History is a fascinating survey of the history of the American legal system. The book is written for both the legal professional and those interested in American legal history. Professor Friedman best summed up the book’s tenor by saying “we cannot understand American law without understanding American legal culture.” He then proceeds to explain the legal culture during three periods in our nation’s history and how the legal system was shaped by those times
Legal Scholarship Symposium: The Scholarship of Lawrence M. Friedman
Full text linkLawrence M. Friedman has achieved a singular preeminence as a legal historian for articulating a new vision of legal history as a discipline in his 1973 work entitled A History of American Law. This book treats American law as a mirror of society. At the time, Friedman\u27s vision was still something quite new in American legal historiography. James Willard Hurst\u27s notions of legal history as a sociolegal inquiry would heavily influence Friedman, helping to move the field into new and often surprising precincts. Friedman\u27s approach to legal history is one that introduced us to previously unexamined actors and institutions.Whether looking at criminal justice in the limited context of late nineteenth-century Alameda County or giving us a broad overview of criminal law and its administration across the broad sweep of the nation\u27s history, Friedman makes an important contribution precisely because of his ability to integrate the legal and the social. Crime and society\u27s responses to crime involve law with the society\u27s broader culture in a way that no other area of the law can. At its base, criminal law and its administration involve fundamental questions of a society\u27s moral vision and the mobilization of the public behind that vision. It also deeply involves questions of social hierarchy and power. These are legal questions, but behind those legal questions stand powerful questions concerning a society and its culture. The history of American criminal law has benefited greatly from having Friedman apply his skilled law and society lens to a once neglected field in legal history
