“Law and Historical Materialism”

An interesting symposium at Jack Balkin's blog on a recent paper by legal historian Jeremy Kessler.  I found the contributions by Benkler and Syed most interesting, albeit misguided, and I thought Professor Kessler's responses were judicious and sensible.  Professor Kessler has done a real service in debunking the CLS critique of Marx, which was never taken seriously by philosophers, but had more impact in legal history.
