Critical Analysis of Law and the New Interdisciplinarity

Critical Analysis of Law (CAL) is a broadly contextual approach to legal scholarship animated by the idea of bilateral interdisciplinary engagement. CAL aims to move beyond entrenched distinctions and self-imposed limitations, pursuing critique and analysis, theory and doctrine, because both are essential interdependent aspects of the enterprise of legal studies as a discipline. CAL embraces interdisciplinarity, reconceived and contextualized. It insists on the autonomy of law as a discipline, while at the same time regarding law as one discipline among others, and the interdisciplinarity of legal studies as a reflection of interdisciplinarity in all modes of scholarship and teaching
