    Abstract

    This short essay follows an invitation from this journal to reflect on the relation between socio-legal and critical legal studies over the past 50 years, a period during which the Journal of Law and Society has been one of the primary conduits for scholarship of both persuasions. After interrogating their commonalities and differences, hopes and anxieties, I go onto suggests that legal studies should be oriented by the objective of opening claims for justice; and I argue that this needs to be extended to animal justice.
