I develop my picture of contemporary legal scholarship in two broad strokes. In the first section, I focus on the relationship between legal scholarship and the traditions of theory, philosophy, and the human sciences, arguing that the interdisciplinary work of contemporary legal scholarship expresses legal culture's uneasiness about intellection. In the second section, I focus on the relationship between legal scholarship and political engagement, arguing that the programatic or exhortatory tone, structure and context of contemporary legal scholarship expresses legal culture's uneasiness about what it thinks of as “politics”.
