Sample Question

Evolutionary models and metaphors are a particularly useful device
for talking about changes of this sort in the law. One of the
distinctive features of evolutionary theories is that they may be used
to describe the nature and direction of changes in a complex
phenomenon even though little is known about its constituent parts and
the mechanisms connecting them. Darwin knew almost nothing about the
mechanisms of heredity; yet he was able to formulate simple, powerful
statements at higher levels of abstraction about the patterns of
change that result from these forces. Similarly, writers in the
evolutionary legal tradition - from Savigny and Maine to Hirshleifer
and Rodgers aspire to...

The author refers to Darwin in order to

(A) commend Darwin’s ability to formulate powerful statements about
the patterns of hereditary change

(B) warn against the abuse of evolutionary models by non-
scientists

(C) show that the abstract approach of legal theorists is superior
to that of lawyers and citizens

(D) support the view that evolutionary models of law do not
depend on detailed factual knowledge

(E) draw a comparison suggesting that evolutionary legal theory is
in its infancy
