    “What makes this work important is, first and foremost, the originality of its origin: its authors are two practitioners, lawyers at the Paris Court of Appeal, who explicitly declare their membership in the French Communist Party. In France, the left-wing temperament, as it is called, is represented in the legal profession almost as much as elsewhere, and there is no shortage of radical, socialist, and progressive jurists, more often than communists—that is to say, communists who are not in actual or potential dissidence. […] While the approach taken is straightforward, the arguments are not without nuance, and to the interest of its origin is added, and even surpassed, an interest in its content. This partial book is an intelligent one.” Readers will appreciate the subtlety of certain analyses, such as those devoted to the internal contradictions of legal systems (the bourgeois system, but even the other), and the suggestive power of certain hypotheses, such as that of counter-law (this right of contradiction which, under the pressure of workers' struggles, is constituted within capitalist law, but without ceasing to be part of it, as evidenced by legislation on workplace accidents). Regarding the nature and function of law, as it ultimately exists in our French society, the conclusion is far-reaching: law is a resultant, it is at the same time a force, relatively independent, and moreover ambiguous, sometimes a driving force, sometimes a brake; both resultant and force, it is an exchange of social theory and practice. All of this is excellent to read and ponder, whatever one's opinion of it. [Jean Carbonnier]
