RC Question 11 Explanation, by LSATHacks

DISCUSSION: Lines 22-34 describe Critical Legal Studies (CLS).

CLS’ main point was that elites control the law, rather than the government or other groups.

(lines 29-31)

___________

1. CLS argued that elite power determined the law. This sounds like the government and precedent instead determine the law.
2. CORRECT. This shows that elites are in control.
3. This sounds like an example of internationalism, not elite control.
4. This describes how to judge the moral state of a society. It doesn’t say whether elites control the law.
5. This is vague. Almost every system tries to ensure its own continuation.
