Review of the Field
In this issue, Social & Legal Studies is pleased to publish the second of an occasional
feature: Review of the Field. Our ambition is to commission leading scholars to reflect
upon their fields of study and to offer a critical appraisal of the key literature and
concepts. The aim is to provide not only a valuable map of the scholarly terrain but,
equally, we hope that the format will give authors the opportunity to set a direction of
travel for their discipline. Thus, we anticipate that reviews will ask new research ques-
tions, identify gaps in the scholarship and explore connections and discontinuities
between diverse bodies of knowledge. Suggestions for future reviews are welcome and
should be addressed to members of the Editorial Board. We are delighted that Dr Sarah
Hamill of Trinity College Dublin took up our invitation to write this Review of the Field
of Legal History. We hope that our readers agree with us that the result provides an
important addition to the literature and provides an invaluable template for contributors
of future reviews.
