• W3123264934 abstract "I. IntroductionTwo often-repeated notions run through law society research: one, that law is a mirror of society, two, that a exists between law society. The first notion, in its extreme form, suggests that the relationship between law society is so intimate that it is incorrect to interject the conjunction and between these terms-law is always integrated within produced by society, society courses through every aspect of law, such that they cannot be separated. The second notion, in its extreme form, suggests that law operates within but is autonomous from society-a self-defining self-constituting complex of socially constructed legal practices, institutions, knowledge, systems of communication language.Although many law society scholars accept both propositions as virtual truisms, an evident tension, if not outright contradiction, exists between them, for they stake out antipodal positions on the law-society relationship. Contradiction is avoided by eschewing the extreme form of each. The middle ground-adopted by most scholars-relies upon a positivistic understanding to identify law as the law-related activities of legal professionals legal officials (picked out from society in this specific sense), while also acknowledging that law is always infused with subject to social influences factors. Under this common understanding, law is separable from society, contrary to the extreme mirror position, while law is also continuously subject to pervasive social influences, contrary to the extreme autonomy pole.Even with this moderate view, however, the tension remains. How can it simultaneously be held that law is a mirror of society that a exists between law society? The short answer is that law is an imperfect mirror of society. Law can be mismatched with, or be out of sync with, society in various ways for various reasons. Mismatch occurs when law lags behind rapid social change or when law fails in an effort to produce social change. Mismatch occurs when law from one society is imposed upon or transplanted to another society. Mismatch occurs when society is comprised of different normative groups the law reflects a selected group but not others. In these other situations, when law is manifestly not a reflection of society, the typically are seen as aberrations or defects, as temporary, as a failure or flaw, as a deviant legal condition that will or must be rectified-in the long run at least.This way of thinking about the well-known gap problem, as it is called in the socio-legal literature, is a product of the notion that law is a mirror of society: the perception of a is dependent on the expectation of a mirror. That is, it is precisely the background belief that law reflects society that supplies the implicit assumptions that allow a mismatch or inconsistency between law society to be seen as (merely) a gap.In this article, I will explore an instance of law engaging in a pitched battle with society. This is a fascinating story worth telling in its own right, which will reveal interesting insights about law society. Talks of mirrors gaps are metaphors which constrain how we perceive the interaction between law society. Sometimes these metaphors are entirely inapt.The battle I refer to emerged at the 1975 Micronesian Constitutional Convention continues to this day.II. The Battle Lines at the Constitutional ConventionThe convention was held under the auspices of the United States, through its administration of Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, a United Nations mandate created at the close of World War II to help territories previously under Japanese colonial rule achieve independence. Micronesia consists of hundreds of small islands across a vast expanse of the tropical equatorial region in the Western Pacific Ocean, stretching nearly 2,000 miles from the Philippines toward Hawaii. …" @default.
