It then explores the role of law in both fostering and remedying social inequality, law as a vehicle for social change, and the many other roles of law in modern U.S. society. The underlying premise is simple - law is a social construct. No matter how it is defined, law is not simply an objective system of dos and don'ts; rather, it is something that is shaped by history, social conditions, and particular groups in society.
