罗杰·科特威尔以法律的独立性为红线 ,系统简略地介绍了法律社会学的一些基本主张 ,揭示了法律在社会关系网络中的地位 ,为我们全面认识法律提供了方法。在法学知识体系尚不发达的社会 ,法学家们更应重视法律的独立性 ,以便为法治社会构建较为完善的规则体系。 Roger Cottell takes the independence of law as the red line, systematically introduces some basic ideas of legal sociology, reveals the status of law in the network of social relations, and provides a method for us to fully understand the law. In a society where the system of legal knowledge is not yet developed, jurists should pay more attention to the independence of law in order to construct a more complete system of rules for a society ruled by law.
