Duncan Kennedy,
Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence at Harvard Law School, has received
an honorary degree from Sciences Po in Paris.
Kennedy, whose
scholarship has focused on juridical thought, economic analysis of the law, the
links between law and literary theory, and legal globalization—among many other
topics—is the first law professor to receive an honorary doctorate from
Sciences Po.
“Recognized as
one of the founding members of the Critical Legal Studies movement in the
United States, author of numerous works of enormous education value in all
areas of law, Duncan Kennedy is an intellectual who has had a profound
influence on the evolution of American legal thought and the way it is taught,”
said Christophe Jamin, director of the Sciences Po Law School, in a speech
honoring Kennedy during the awards ceremony on Dec. 7.
