Legal sociological theory

Legal sociological theory examines how laws are shaped by and interact with society’s social structures, relationships, and cultural norms. It explores how law influences behavior, maintains social order, and reflects societal values. This perspective considers law not just as a set of rules but as a social institution that evolves with social change, power dynamics, and collective interaction. Ultimately, it helps us understand law as both influenced by and influencing society, highlighting the interconnectedness between legal systems and social life.
