"Law Reflects Society, Society Shapes Law"

Welcome to a space where law and society converge in meaningful dialogue. This blog serves as an intellectual crossroads where legal frameworks meet social realities, where jurisprudence intersects with lived experiences, and where theoretical principles engage with practical applications.

Here, we explore the sociological insights embedded within legal precedents, seek legal solutions to contemporary social challenges, and critically examine law's evolving role in building a more just and equitable society. We delve into questions that matter: How do social movements transform legal landscapes? What can court decisions tell us about societal values? How do marginalized voices shape legal reform?

Our mission is to bridge the gap between academia and practice, theory and fieldwork, classroom discussions and courtroom realities. Through rigorous analysis, thoughtful commentary, and interdisciplinary perspectives, we aim to contribute to the ongoing conversation about law's capacity to both reflect and reshape our social world.

Whether you're a student navigating the complexities of socio-legal studies, a practitioner seeking theoretical insights, or a citizen interested in the intersection of law and society, this blog invites you to join us in exploring the dynamic relationship between legal institutions and social life.

Together, we examine not just what the law is, but what it could and should be in service of social justice.

Is the law always a vehicle for justice, or does it often reflect power.

As a sophomore at Stony Brook University, I once failed my history class. It was my very first semester at Stony and also the very first six months of living in the United States. With my lack of English, I was not able to understand the subjects and that unfortunate fact had led me to my first and only F. Egor to have an academic comeback, I re-enrolled history class after a year, which was the beginning of my sophomore year. This time it was different. Due to my advanced En

Educational Inequality in the Modern World

There are a lot of inequalities happening all around the globe. And one of the most important inequalities that I think is education. Even though the world has expanded the school and education system due to the development of technology, still millions of children and young adults do not have an equal access to learning. Recent news stories and international reports insist that the inequality is mainly caused by a mix of economic, gender, technological, and political factors

The Danger of Uncontrolled Technological Advancement: Lessons from Akira

Since I was a kid, I fell in love with animation. I still remember the day when I saw my very first animation, Dragonball. Even though I was sure that it was not real, it made my heart pound and my palm sweaty. Since that day I have watched a variety of animations regardless of their themes. All of those combined, if someone asks me to pick my favorite, I will probably say ‘Akira’. Akira is an animation mainly about the advanced science technology in the future. But it is not

Did the IMF Save the Nation or Impose Hardship? The Case of South Korea in 1997

When the international economic crisis happens, one of the institutions that flashes itself a lot in the media is the IMF, or known as the ‘International Monetary Fund’. IMF is an institution that supports a country who is in an economic crisis situation. It provides emergency financial assistance with the main goal of stabilizing the international financial system. However, IMF support is always accompanied by conditions, and these conditions have profound effects on a count

Welcome to Jin's Society & Law

Hi there! Welcome to my vlog. My name is Daehyun Jin, and I am currently a sophomore at Stonybrook university, and plan to go for pre-law.

I did not study at international school nor in the states. Actually, this is my second year in the states, and so far I’m loving it. Education systems in the states (especially having a debate to share each other's ideas) are things that I want my country to do.

My short-term goal is to attend law school in America. Supporting the weak and helping them is what I want to do as my profession. And that is the main reason for trying to transfer. Indeed, Stonybrook is a great school for its academics, but since it is a research school, its interest in law is quite low.

Below are the portfolios that fully contain my interest, so please enjoy!
