Trevino concludes that "the sociology of law has come of age" and is now a recognized academic field that impacts both the field of sociology and the profession of law. Throughout this term you have studied theorists who do not treat law in the abstract, but rather as an empirical, societal phenomenon that is dependent on extralegal factors such as politics, economics, and morality. Make an essay that discusses three distinct theories that is Marxism, Weberian and Durhheimian that were key to the progression of the field of sociology of law as per our course textbook, that is Trevino (2008). This must be in essay format, that is introduction, thesis statement and body paragraphs. The purpose of this assignment is to present a thorough and thoughtful understanding of course material; therefore, it is not sufficient to provide a simple summary. Students are expected to demonstrate their ability to synthesis major theoretical concepts, explain the significance of the concept and provide an informed analysis considering its key contribution to the development of the field of sociology of law.
