   what is "law"? by what processes do judges arrive at opinions. those  documents that justify their belief that the "law" dictates a conclusion one  way or the other? these are among the oldest questions in

(5) jurisprudence, debate about which has traditionally been dominated by  representatives of two schools of thought: proponents of natural law, who see  law as intertwined with a moral order independent of society s rules and  mores, and legal positivists, who see law

(10) solely as embodying the commands of a society s ruling authority

   since the early 1970s, these familiar questions have received some new  and surprising answers in the legal academy. this novelty is in part a  consequence of the

(15) increasing influence there of academic disciplines and intellectual traditions  previously unconnected with the study of law. perhaps the most influential  have been the answers given by the law and economics school. according  to these legal economists, law consists and

(20) ought to consist of those rules that maximize a society s material wealth  and that abet the efficient operation of markets designed to generate wealth.  more controversial have been the various answers provided by members of  the critical legal studies movement

(25) according to whom law is one among several cultural mechanisms by  which holders of power seek to legitimate their domination. drawing on  related arguments developed in anthropology, sociology, and history, the  critical legal scholars contend that law is an

(30) expression of power, but not, as held by the positivists, the power of the  legitimate sovereign government. rather, it is an expression of the power of  elites who may have no legitimate authority, but who are intent on preserving  the privileges of their race, class, or gender.

(35) in the mid-1970s, james boyd white began to articulate yet another  interdiseiplinary response to the traditional questions, and in so doing  spawned what is now known as the law and literature movement white has  insisted that law, particularly as it is

(40) interpreted in judicial opinions, should be understood as an essentially  literary activity. judicial opinions should be read and evaluated not primarily  as political acts or as atte mpts to maximize society s wealth through  efficient rules, but rather as artistic

(45) performances. and like all such performances, white argues, each judicial  opinion attempts in its own way to promote a particular political or ethical  value.

   in the recent justice as translation, white argues that opinion-writing  should be regarded as an act of

(50) "translation," and judges as "translators." as such, judges find themselves  mediating between the authoritative legal text and the pressing legal problem  that demands resolution. a judge must essentially "re-constitute" that text by  fashioning a new one, which

(55) is faithful to the old text but also responsive to and informed by the  conditions, constraints, and aspirations of the world in which the new legal  problem has arisen.
