The work of both socio-legal scholars and specialists working in social movements research continues to contribute to our understanding of how law relates to and informs the politics of social movements. In the 1990s, an important line of new research, most of it initiated by those working in the law and society tradition, began to bridge the gaps between these two areas of scholarship. This work includes new approaches to grouplegal mobilization politics; analysis of the judicial impact on social reform struggles; studies of individual legal mobilization in civil disputing and an almost entirely new area of research incause lawyering. It brings together the best of this research introduced by a detailed essay by the editor.

Das Revisionsrecht unterliegt seit Jahrzehnten einem erheblichen Wandel; seine Formenstrenge scheint in Auflosung begriffen. Von diesen tiefgreifenden Veranderungen ist das von den Strafsenaten des Bundesgerichtshofs entwickelte Verbot der Rekonstruktion der Hauptverhandlung weithin unberuhrt geblieben. Den Revisionsgerichten ist es danach versagt, zur Nachprufung von Verfahrensrugen mundlichen Prozessstoff der tatrichterlichen Hauptverhandlung im Wege des revisionsgerichtlichen Freibeweises zu rekonstruieren. Diese Rechtsprechung begegnet von jeher Kritik, zumal es an einer tragfahigen Begrundung fur das Rekonstruktionsverbot fehlt. Nach einer Bestandsaufnahme und Analyse der Rechtsprechung sowie der im Schrifttum vertretenen Auffassungen zum Rekonstruktionsverbot unterzieht Louisa Bartel die bisherigen Begrundungsansatze einer kritischen Uberprufung. Vor dem Hintergrund des Kontrollprogramms der Verfahrensruge und mit Blick auf das verfassungsrechtlich verbur gte Prinzip effektiven Rechtsschutzes zeigt sie Tragfahigkeit und Grenzen des Rekonstruktionsverbots auf.
This important volume examines rights from an inter-disciplinary law and society perspective, beginning with the premise that the most basic functions of rights requires the empirical study of rights consciousness and claiming behavior. As such the volume includes articles and essays by political scientists, historians, lawyers, and sociologists which place the study of ordinary citizens' understandings of rights, and what actions they take based on that knowledge, at the forefront of an empirical research agenda. This has important implications for law's capacity to achieve social change and can lead to better understanding of how rights can and should operate in a social and legal system. The volume is organized around the social movements and political processes which give rise to rights, the processes by which people come to understand they enjoy a right, the decision to invoke the right either formally or informally, and the organizational and institutional constraints and opportunities for exercising rights.
