Abstract
This commentary offers an analysis of some of the ways in which one war — the American War in Vietnam — and its legal context can be understood as mutually constitutive. The focus is on efforts of anti-war legal activists to use elements of legality to reconstitute that war and the effects these engagements had on transformatively re-constituting the cultural domain of the legal itself. After presenting a brief catalog of skirmishes and tactical maneuvers I conclude with the suggestion that this journal and the kinds of scholarship that finds expression here might be counted as part of the “legacy” of the legal war at home.
