This document discusses the relevance of sociology to law students. It argues that sociology can help law students and lawyers in several ways: 1) By understanding that legal systems are part of larger social systems and influenced by societies, and that societies are also influenced by legal systems. 2) By providing insights into social tensions, conflicts, changes, and order that are primary concerns for lawyers. 3) By training lawyers to be social engineers who can facilitate change while minimizing friction and maximizing happiness. Sociological knowledge and methods can help lawyers understand behavior and its control.
