LYRICS AND THE LAW:
The Constitution of Law in Music
Aaron R.S. Lorenz
Professor of Law, Rampo College of Mahwah, New Jersey
T
here are few concepts in society that each of us can relate to, but music is one of them. Both music and law are fundamental components of modern American life. This book addresses the role music plays in constituting law in the United States. The subject of the book is important in order to show that while the Supreme Court writes decisions and legislators create and modify statutes, music is more invasive and influential in the lives of the populous. The book’s first purpose is to introduce readers to the classic jurisprudential schools of thought and connect those philosophies to the lyrics of various songs. There is clear evidence that Natural Law and Legal Positivism have been instrumental in establishing a legal structure and philosophy of law. The remnants of those jurisprudential schools can be directly seen in the lyrics of the last 50 years. After classical jurisprudence is presented, the book connects musical lyrics to the critical Constitutive Theory. The book’s second objective is to systematically explain the role that music plays in constituting images of Race, Gender and Class. Legal scholars have argued that music and law are often loosely connected, but this book asserts that music creates law and images of law through specific lenses. Aaron R.S. Lorenz is an Assistant Professor of Law and Society at Rampo College, where he teaches courses on law and society, the death penalty, privacy, race, civil liberties and of course music and law. He is also the author of various other publications concerning the law and culture.
