9320858 SARAT This project will convene an international conference of sociolegal scholars to examine the role of the legal profession in social and political processes. The conference will focus on the involvement of the legal profession, in various countries and in the international arena, in developing a wide variety of rights claims and other policy goals. A special focus is the transnational development of human rights claims. Three questions will be addressed. First, what parts of the legal profession engage in these activities and why do they seek to use their legal practice to these ends? Second, what are their strategies and tactics and how do they differ (if at all) from those of conventional practice? Third, what are the conditions that facilitate or inhibit the political uses of legal practice? A number of social scientists across the world who have been studying these questions will present the results of their research at the conference. These papers and the other proceedings of the conference will be published as a book. ***

9320858本项目将召开一次社会法学者国际会议，以审查法律专业在社会和政治进程中的作用。会议将集中讨论各国和国际法律界在制定各种权利主张和其他政策目标方面的参与。特别关注的是人权主张的跨国发展。将回答三个问题。首先，法律界有哪些部分从事这些活动？他们为何要利用他们的法律执业来达到这些目的？第二，他们的战略和战术是什么？他们与传统做法有什么不同(如果有的话)？第三，促进或抑制法律实践的政治用途的条件是什么？世界各地一直在研究这些问题的社会科学家将在会议上展示他们的研究结果。这些论文和会议的其他会议记录将作为一本书出版。***
