Sociological Jurisprudence (Lex Cast Episode 9)

In this video, I look at a rather obscure theory of law known as Sociological Jurisprudence. When you consider how hopelessly corrupt Sociology is today, no longer much of a science at all, but mired in ideology and special interest, you may be surprised to hear that the first Sociologists were in fact conservative in their outlook. Thinkers like de Tocqueville, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim produced work that although modern in approach, still challenged the idealogies of the Democratic and Industrial Revolution, even looking back to social structures of the middle age for a remedy to alienation produced by modernism. Legal thinkers like Eugen Ehrlich likewise took aim at legal positivism, which had led lawyers to become lost in texts and obsessed with state power. Instead, lawyers should be looking at society for the true source of law. Although flawed as a theory and, unlike natural law theory, too relativistic, Erhlich like the founders of sociology urged lawyers to broaden their outlook in looking at other sources of law. This is useful to us to today reforming the law, changing how we think of law, and fighting the march towards greater and greater authoritarianism and the total state.
