handle is hein.journals/solestu3 and id is 1 raw text is: PREFACE NTERDISCIPLINARY LEGAL scholarship is today a lively, international field, everywhere engaged with the most important issues in social theory and public policy. Yet still today, training and education in this thriving field is parcelled out among law faculties and a variety of academic departments in the social sciences and humanities. There are too few institutions in which interdisciplinary legal scholarship has been established as a distinct and distinctive presence in and of itself. However, for the last two decades one of the most important exceptions to this fact has been the Jurisprudence & Social Policy Program at the University of California at Berkeley. There a distinguished interdisciplinary faculty offers its own PhD and has put forth a distinctive conception of the nature and purposes of interdisciplinary legal scholarship. Since its founding in 1977, thirty people have received PhDs in Jurisprudence & Social Policy, and the Program today continues to attract an enormously talented group of students. The goal of this Special Issue of Social & Legal Studies is to bring the work of those who have been trained in JSP to the attention of the community of interdisciplinary legal scholars around the world. The contribu- tors to this issue demonstrate the significance of the kind of interdisciplinary training provided in JSP by the breadth and sophistication of their work and demonstrate, through that work, the importance of the contribution made by JSP. We are grateful to the editors of Social & Legal Studies for the opportunity to edit this issue, to the contributors, and to Philip Selznick for his Introduction.
