Abstract/Description:

To explain the background and meanings of the new legal realism, we need to understand the old legal realism, legal process theory, critical legalism, the law and society movement, and law and economic theory since the 1920s and 1930s. The new legal realism has not only continued the old one’s promotion of factual and open studies, but has also emphasized the legal importance of existing interdisciplinary research results and called the attention of scholars in other disciplines to the substantial legal meanings of their research. As a result, traditional and interdisciplinary legal research could better interact and cooperate to lead to multidisciplinary and empirical legal research being carried out more effectively.
