«Sociology of Law» is a collection of readings in the sociology of law edited by Vilhelm Aubert, published by Penguin in paperback in English.
Law fulfills two social functions: reconciling stability and progress and resolving conflicts. In five parts, this book studies how it carries out these tasks: as a product of the social system, as an instrument of social change, in judicial decision-making, and in the legal profession itself.
The volume belongs to the Penguin Modern Sociology Readings series and bears the subtitle «Selected Readings»; in some editions the title appears as «The Sociology of Law».
Useful for law and sociology students and for those who want to understand the social dimension of legal institutions.
