Marxist Legal Theory is a framework that examines law through the lens of Marxism, emphasizing the relationship between law, society, and economic structures. It argues that laws are not neutral but are shaped by the interests of the ruling class, serving to maintain their power and control over resources. This theory critiques the idea of law as an impartial system, suggesting that legal institutions often perpetuate social inequalities. By analyzing how laws reflect and reinforce capitalist values, Marxist Legal Theory seeks to uncover the underlying power dynamics that influence legal outcomes and societal norms.
