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}

It goes on to problematise the public/private distinction itself and to highlight the rich vein of feminist scholarship which has argued that the ‘private’ functions as a zone in which non-state normativities often flourish unexamined to the detriment of women. Rather than unquestioning acceptance and/or ideological deployment of the gender and public/private binaries, it argues for a more nuanced understanding of both and of the interrelationships between them.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 S1","pages":"S110-S115"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","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.

This article argues that rather than doing so through individual self-talk denying the value of participation, or, by overt pressure on the defendant, professionals need to see evidence of apparent participation, often through the work shown to them by other professionals. ‘Humanisation work’ to inform the court, conducted, for example, by social work and probation staff, is a subtle yet potent way in which defendants are encouraged to admit guilt so as to show that they have been able freely to voice their unique story. The defendant's case can therefore be concluded with little conflict because she appears to the court to show that she freely accepts the legitimacy of its impending punishment.

Overall, this article argues that contemporary discourse on gender categories and trans inclusion/exclusion has primarily focused on issues within the public sphere, while the realm of the private sphere has been somewhat neglected and would benefit from a renewed focus on feminist engagements with the ways in which gender categories and norms are constructed and reinforced in this setting.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 S1","pages":"S98-S109"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.12549","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196604","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}

What if the method of pursuing data carries the potential of possibly disrupting one's rapport with the community and being perceived as a partisan ideologically driven researcher with ulterior motives? This question becomes more pronounced in socio-legal, conflict and public policy research in spatially polarized settings of the South. In these settings, knowledge is co-produced through one's own positionality and the nuances of grey areas that do not often feature in aggregated datasets. Scholarship on positionality has questioned whether scholars should explicate their position on the field by pointing towards the intentional or unintentional perpetuation of hierarchies. This paper situates itself in the positionality debate with reference to castelessness in socio-legal research through nine months of ethnographic fieldwork in a Southern spatially polarized setting. It grapples with an emerging contrasting view of whether researchers should at all engage in explicating their positionality. The paper argues that data is a socio-spatial product. It is to suggest that the production of data in conflict settings is informed by the spatial dynamics of social relations that emerge in the co-production of knowledge, and the researcher's reflexive positionality that itself impacts the outcome of data that emerges.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 S1","pages":"S224-S240"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
