[[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 History of legal thought]</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.

<blockquote>
"We now know -- or have no excuse for not knowing -- that deconstruction is not a technique or a method, and hence that there is no question of "applying" it. We know that it is not a moment of carnival or liberation, but a moment of the deepest concern with limits. We know that it is not a hymn to indeterminacy, or a life-imprisonment within language, or a denial of history: reference, mimesis, context, historicity, are among the most repeatedly emphasized and carefully scrutinized topics in Derrida's wri ting. And we know -- though this myth perhaps dies hardest of all -- that the ethical and the political are not avoided by deconstruction, but are implicated at every step."
