Deconstructive Arguments in the Legal Sphere: An Analysis of the Fischl/Massey Debate about Critical Legal Studies.
Bruschke, Jon
Argumentation and Advocacy, v32 n1 p16-29 Sum 1995
Examines an exchange in a journal between critical legal scholar Richard Fischl and mainstream legal thinker Calvin Massey. States that their argument typifies the sorts of disputes between scholars who perform deconstructions and more traditional scholars. Concludes that the power of argument may reside in its dialectical function, and that deconstruction fails as a method of argument. (PA)
