The scholarship of the CLS movement disputes the idea that the power of judges and other government officials either can or should be constrained by sources of law such as constitutions, statutes, and precedent. It is marked by a rejection of the belief that "legal argument” can or should be an enterprise distinct from political argument. It is also marked by a rejection of "legal rights” as a desirable or even possible means of protecting individuals from government power.
