Table of ContentsReviewsAn important founding text in the history of critical approaches to law taken by scholars located in law schools. - Law and Politics Book Review Duncan Kennedy's little red book has become a classic. But now with its republication twenty years later, Kennedy's 'polemic against the system' takes us beyond its origins as a field guide to legal education. - Lani Guinier, Harvard University Duncan Kennedy's critique of legal education now gets the wide distribution it deserves. Kennedy's insightful skewering of legal education, supplemented by his own reflections on the work and views of other legal educators, will provide prospective law students with a flavor of what they are in for - and will remind lawyers of what they went through. Kennedy's message is as important today as it was two decades ago when he first penned this work. -Mark Tushnet,Georgetown University An important founding text in the history of critical approaches to law taken by scholars located in law schools. -The Law and Politics Book Review Kennedy's book remains one of the defining blows of critical legal studies and an enduring challenge to the entire structure of legal education. It remains as vital, incisive and daring as when it first appeared. -Scott Turow,author of One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School. Duncan Kennedy's little red book has become a classic. But now with its republication twenty years later, Kennedy's 'polemic against the system'takes us beyond its origins as a field guide to legal education. Amplified by the voices of other distinguished scholars, this stunning collection of essays forces us to consider the ways in which hierarchies and their resulting social alienation disfigure contemporary society, not just our law schools. -Lani Guinier,Harvard University Author InformationDuncan Kennedy is Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence at Harvard University School of Law.
