I disagree to put an article about one of the most eminent American social scientists in the law section because he passed a law school and then worked in the beginning of his career in a subordiante position at the US Supreme Court. If you look at any serious Encyclopedia, or even search at Google, you will find number of links of Riesman to sociology but not to law.
His good place in an encyclopedia depends, as I see, more from the content of his well-known books = in social sciences, and his later academic positions = in social sciences, than from his student years and his early professional career.
That's why I (and not only me) call him a sociologist.
I don't know who put a social scientist into the law category but will see in the coming weeks whether I can him put into a sociology category.
