question 14

Short Answer

Sociologists Richard Schwartz and James Miller proposed that changes in societies' legal systems parallel changes in societal complexity (or, in Durkheim's terms, the societal "division of labor"). Fully developed legal systems are seen to have the following three characteristics:
a. Mediation: regular use of third parties to settle disputes
b. Police: use of specialized, armed force to enforce laws
c. Counsel: regular use of specialized, non-kin advocates (e.g., lawyers)
