The ideal of empirical social science entered the consciousness of              American legal academics in the 1920's and early 1930's, yet there              remains a pervasive emphasis in American legal studies on formalism, on         the one hand, and practical problem-solving, on the other.  Based on a          systematic analysis of a range of archival data, Dr. Schlegel seeks to          account for why the scientific ideal inspired by the American Legal             Realism movement has largely failed to be incorporated into the                 professional identity of those engaged in legal scholarship.  His study         is fundamental to the field of law and social science, providing a              history of the first ambitious set of attempts to synthesize law and            social science and to institutionalize law-and-society studies both             inside and outside law schools.  His work will enrich the current               debate and dialogue of social scientists and illuminate our                     understanding of the nature of legal knowledge.
