According to my cable guide, Court TV even has its very own channel where people can watch legal trivia around the clock. If we include fictional crime and law shows, the genre covers well over half of my television channels. The Dragnet and Perry Mason of my childhood have given way to a crowded field.

Some focus on the historical exclusion of women in the United States from public life and from certain professions, based on women’s alleged timidity and irrationality and their capacity for motherhood (Taub and Schneider 1998). Others, like Judith Butler (1990), argue that the dichotomization of sex into male and female is itself a sociolegal creation.

The cadre of elite lawyers who serve on panels of highly paid arbitrators in these business disputes was likened to a “mafia” by one insider. As he put it, “It’s a mafia because people appoint one another. You always appoint your friends—people you know” (quoted in Dezalay and Garth 1996, 10).

Adopting Weber’s model of increasing rationalization in modern society, Dezalay and Garth argue that the charisma and elite credentials of the “grand old men” who traditionally made up this transnational arbitration club continue to provide it with an aura of genteel legitimacy, but that its actual operation has been rendered highly technocratic and rational.
