Summary
Justice Holmes, one of the most famous judges in the history of the US Supreme Court, made an observation in a Harvard Law Review article in the year 1897 that ‘[f]or the rational study of the law the black-letter man may be the man of the present, but the man of the future is the man of statistics and the master of economics’. Although this famous observation of Justice Holmes is one of the most cited quotes even today to substantiate the claims for an interdisciplinary approach in law, a major realization that has happened in legal research arena over the past century is that this interdisciplinary co-operation cannot be limited to statistics or economics. Today the interdisciplinary approaches in law have extended to many other disciplines like history, sociology, anthropology, psychology and cultural studies. Some scholars have even coined an interesting word, ‘law and’ scholarship, to denote the enlarged interdisciplinary approaches in law. Movements like the New Legal Realism have provided further momentum and strength to such interdisciplinary approaches.
But the ‘law and’ approaches, which witnessed a significant increase in the past 40 years, have also met with many criticisms as well as challenges. Although some renowned legal scholars have questioned the significance of such approaches outside academic research, some have shown the need for more quality control in such approaches.
