ABSTRACT
Closing this book, this chapter looks into the relationship between law and social transformation. In doing so, it starts by the Marxist perspective that argues that law is structurally biased because it is a tool deployed to dominate and exploit the working class and argues against it. Afterward, it moves into ideas about law’s inherent neutrality and distances itself from it. The chapter proposes that law is neither a direct instrument to promote change nor an impartial, neutral frame or a rigid cage that leaves no space for action. Rather, what this final chapter is proposing is that law is indeterminate, it entails more bargaining than adjudication, it is shaped by many forces as well as diverse rules and as a consequence is foundational to the distribution of resources.
