Judges
Judges as theorists are in the unfortunate position that they are required to produce an answer to the problems they face. Academics can put a matter aside until a solution seems viable, and tend not to feel the least bit guilty if what they say proves to be quite wrong. Judges swear an oath not to avoid deciding and they know that if, in deciding, they get it wrong they cause damage. Thus they tend to avoid theorising, relying on the doctrine of precedent to produce systemic adaptations to change within society. Despite this, judges are creatures of their time and their thinking falls within the contemporaneous discursive formations. Moreover, precedent produces path-dependent legal thinking. Consequently certain concepts and principles are etched within the structures of any field of law. Corporations law is noexceptio
