In this article, I explore the reasons for this phenomenon by analysing the arguments developed by prosecuting attorneys in capital punishment trials involving defendants who advance insanity or diminished capacity claims but are, nonetheless, sentenced to death. Based on the analysis of 27 trial transcripts spanning the past 100 years, I argue that one of the reasons for the phenomenon is that Texan prosecutors use anti-intellectual arguments that, by appealing to jurors’ scepticism of psychiatric expertise and populist approach to mental illness, discredit the mental disability evidence presented by the defence, encouraging the imposition of death sentences. Finally, I identify three cultural traits that help to explain why these anti-intellectual sentiments are so pronounced in Texan proceedings and why they seem to correlate with the regular imposition of death sentences.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 3","pages":"456-479"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on law and emotion scholarship, it uses a qualitative research project involving clients, lawyers, and advisers to question the standardized view that emotion has no place in legal casework. It argues that interpersonal factors – such as trust and reassurance, adviser commitment, emotional support, empathy and sympathy, and emotional accessibility – have an instrumental impact on legal work. It develops this argument further by comparing the relational elements of telephone-only and in-person lawyer–client interaction. It considers how these modes of delivery differ at an interpersonal level and explores the possible implications for clients, lawyers, and legal practice of any emotional dissimilarities between telephone-only and face-to-face services. This analysis concludes that the potential for greater emotional engagement as a result of in-person contact may have significant advantages for clients with more complex needs and/or cases.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 3","pages":"390-413"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, I pick up on two discussion points that animate this debate. First, the debate quintessentially probes the identity of the discipline of the sociology of law. In this regard, it is very much concerned about how the boundaries of a discipline are formed. I reflect on how this issue continues to persist across law and society research, as questions on the boundary formation and dissolution of different concepts and categories are ubiquitous and an animating feature of the field. Second, I reflect on how lurking behind the questions raised by the debate are political considerations that structure legal and socio-legal analysis. The Cotterrell–Nelken debate raises vexing questions on what law <i>is</i> and what law <i>ought</i> to be, without clearly resolving them. Indeed, any resolution seems futile and instead points to the political choices that underpin different understandings of the law and its relationship to other social scientific fields. Across law and society research, vexing questions about the nature and function of law within specific settings may relate to political choices that receive inadequate scholarly attention. Law and society research would thus benefit from an agenda that places the politics underlying different legal discourses into plain view.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 S1","pages":"S32-S47"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The respective research paradigms and practices differ by their emphasis on ‘law in’, ‘law and’ or ‘law as’ in its relation to economy and society.
