80 This passage is adapted from my "Remembering 1972" (forthcoming) in D. Galligan,
op. cit. Chap. 2, n. 57, which contains a more detailed overview of developments
since 1972 and extensive references, which are not reproduced here.
81 On the complex history of the Law and Economics Movement, see Neil Duxbury,
"Law and Economics in America" (forthcoming).
82 Recently Posner has ebulliently sought to be re-labelled: see, for example, R.
Posner, Law and Literature: A Misunderstood Relation (1988); The Problems of
Jurisprudence (1990); Sex and Reason (1992).
83 On autopoiesis see G. Teubner, Autopoietic Law: A New Approach (1988); Symposium
in (1992) Cardozo Law Rev. and above Chap. 5, n. 36. For references
to the other developments, see "Remembering 1972", op. cit.
84 For a survey of legal anthropology up to 1987/8, see F. Snyder, "Anthropology,
Dispute Processes and Law", (1988) 8 Brit. J. Law and Society 141; on historical
jurisprudence see generally Alan Diamond (ed.), The Victorian Achievement of
Sir Henry Maine (1991).

86 A similar list could be made for developments in legal education. In the past
decade or so a series of buzz-words and phrases illustrate the pace of change:
judicial studies; in-house trainers; access; the skills movement; training the
trainers; distance learning; computer-based instruction; expert systems; the
reflective practitioner; and legal literacy are all terms that have entered the standard
vocabulary of legal educators.
87 On the expansion of the London LLM, to cover about 150 subjects, see University
of London, LLM Review: Second Interim Report (1992).

Report (1994).
89 This finding has been corroborated by a small survey by P. A. Thomas (1994)
12 Socio-Legal Newsletter p. 1. On research training of law teachers see
Appendix below.
90 One important exception is the Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex,
which has moved increasingly into multidisciplinary work in an area traditionally
dominated by lawyers.
