Comment on Francis van Loon,stephane delrue,and wim van wambeke, “sociological research on litigation: perspectives and examples”

The sociology of law has a long-standing tradition and indeed produced a vast literature in the area of litigation. Meanwhile, a complementary perspective has been presented which we discuss with the following four perspectives: the relationship between legal economists and legal sociologists; the project of Van Loon, Delrue, and Van Wambeke; an overview of law and economics research with respect to the legal process; and the question of whether both approaches are complementary.
