An ideal approach to legal education, in Austin Sarat's view, would open up law and legal knowledge by making them the proper objects of inquiry in the liberal arts.


Austin Sarat is William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Science at Amherst College. He has served as President of the Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities and of the Law and Society Association. He is the author of When the State Kills: Capital Punishment and the American Condition and coeditor of Looking Back at Law's Century (also from Cornell).
