→Deconstruction and Law
[[Critical Legal Studies]] is Deconstruction applied to [[Law]]. It involves dissecting and critiquing a law to find its subjective meaning, regardless of what it objectively states. Critical Legal Studies result in a view of law as tool to obtain what one wants. Susan Estich said, "You believe in principle; I believe in politics."<ref>Susan Estich in an online letter to Stuart Taylor Jr., www.slate.com/id/3628/entry/23734</ref> Deconstruction endangers law as we know it by rejecting standards of justice derived from religious moral absolutes and using law as a tool to beat political opponents into submission.<ref>Noebel, page 312</ref>

[[Harvard Law School]] in the late 1970s and 1980s was the home for several tenured professors who became advocates of [[Critical Legal Studies]] (or "crits"), such as Professor Duncan Kennedy.<ref>http://duncankennedy.net/legal_history/index.html</ref> By the late 1980s, however, a backlash among more traditional faculty there resulted in the denial of tenure to another adherent of that movement, causing the growth of the movement to halt.
