The Influence of Sociology on American Jurisprudence from Oliver Wendell Holmes to Critical Legal Studies
Trevino, A. Javier
This paper analyzes the distinctive influence that sociology has had on legal scholarship during the past century. It examines some of the more significant contributions that sociology has made to four of the major jurisprudential "movements" of the twentieth-century: Holmesian legal science, sociological jurisprudence, legal Realism, and Critical Legal Studies. In essence, this paper shows how sociology has: (1) contributed to the language of the law some of its more important concepts, (2) given jurisprudence penetrating insight inlo the social dynamics of the law, (3) revealed the close relationship which exists between law and the other social institutions, (4) provided jurisprudence with a positivistic, structural methodology by which to study the law, and (5) inspired a legal approach that is perspectival and hermeneutical in orientation.

Making Time: The Chronocentric Vision of the Post Industrial Narrative
Neustadter, Roger
The ideological dimensions of post-industrial accounts reflect the political element in the theorists assumptions of a particular position on the question of the nature of social change and the implications that can be drawn from the study of past events for the understanding of present ones. By the term ideology is meant a set of prescriptions for taking a position in the present world of social praxis.

The Origins of Racism: The Critical Theory of Oliver C. Cox
Klarlund, Susan E.
Oliver C. Cox's theory of race relations and its impending problems in connection with the rise of capitalism have not been applied or addressed to the same extent as that of his contemporaries. Why does the work of Oliver Cox continue to be largely ignored and set aside? We will first look at Cox's hypothesis and some of the concepts he uses, his argument regarding the genesis of racism, and his criticisms of some of his better known contemporaries that may well have contributed to the bitter relationships he encountered.
