A theoretical framework that applies critical theory's tools to understanding legal systems—not just how laws function but how they produce and legitimize power, inequality, and oppression. Critical legal theory examines how law, presented as neutral and just, actually serves dominant interests, how legal reasoning masks political choices, how rights discourse can both liberate and constrain. It draws on Critical Legal Studies, feminist jurisprudence, critical race theory, and related traditions to understand law as a site of struggle—not just rules to be applied but power to be contested. Critical legal theory asks not just "what does the law say?" but "whose interests does it serve, and how could it be otherwise?"
Example: "His analysis showed how 'neutral' contract law systematically advantages corporations over workers—Critical Legal Theory, revealing the politics hidden in apparently technical legal doctrine."
