This special English language issue of the Nordic periodical Retfaerd (Justice) is dedicated to the sociology of law and one of the great social theorists of the late 20th century, the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002). In his extensive catalogue of publications, Bourdieu provided the outline of sociology of the legal field. Moreover, in his many studies of other social fields, and especially in his in-depth analyses of the State, he addressed law and the legal profession as key elements of the development of modern society. Yet, as pointed out in the first article, Bourdieu's encounter with law remained, for a number of reasons, a somewhat unfulfilled research program, which has provided grist to the mill for a growing number of socio-legal studies. The table of contents include: Pierre Bourdieu: From Law to Legal Field; An Intellectual and Personal Encounter; Sociology of the Internationalization of Law; The Double Game of the Patricians of the Indian Bar in the Market of Civic Virtue; The Construction of a Dominant Position in an International Field of Legal Assistance; National Divisions and Transnational Strategies; On the Accumulation of Cosmopolitan Capital: A Comment on Bourdieu and Law.Pierre Bourdieu: From Law to Legal Field: Retfaerd no.114, was published 2006 under ISBN 9788773186770 and ISBN 8773186775.
