In this unique volume, James Hackney invites readers to

enter the minds of 10 legal experts that in the late 20th century changed the

way we understand and use theory in law today. True to the title of the book,

Hackney spent hours in conversation with legal intellectuals, interviewing them

about their early lives as thinkers and scholars, their contributions to

American legal theory, and their thoughts regarding some fundamental

theoretical questions in legal academe, particularly the law/politics debate. Legal

Intellectuals in Conversation is a veritable "Who's

Who" of legal thought, presented in a sophisticated yet

intimate manner.
