Description
Marc Galanter's seminal work, "Why the 'Haves' Come Out Ahead," is among the most well-cited law review articles of all time. With his distinction between experienced "repeat players" and inexperienced "one shotters" in the U.S. judicial system, Galanter established a clear and predictable model of how the structure of our legal system and one's frequency of interaction with it influence the outcomes of cases.
This book collects the original paper and ten contemporary articles about Galanter's theory in a single volume. The articles, which present new research results and synthesize work done over the past few decades, examine the lasting influence and continued importance of this groundbreaking work. In Litigation provides a thorough presentation of the most durable theory explaining litigation and legal participation that sociolegal scholarship has produced.

Reviews / Votes
"In Litigation both contributes to and extends the field of law and society, not only because it makes accessible the most widely cited article in the field, but because it critically evaluates and tests Galanter's analysis in a rigorous and thought-provoking way." -Douglas Reed,Georgetown University "Kritzer and Silbey's collection will be a central text-perhaps the central text-in judicial process and law and society courses." -Keith Bybee,Michael O. Sawyer Chair of Constitutional Law and Politics, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse UniversityMore details
