Abstract

This article offers a civic view of legal change. This view emphasizes the role of citizens and describes the connection between civic bonds and new, sustainable legal doctrine, especially constitutional doctrine. Three current socio-legal movements - gay rights, abortion, and gun control - are used as illustrations, and the role of non-lawyers and civic organizing in creating legal, and social change through those movements is emphasized.
