    Gregory S. Alexander, a professor at Cornell Law School, wrote an article comparing the American and Scandinavian legal realism movements. He discusses how both rejected legal formalism and focused on empirical studies of law in action. However, the Scandinavian version placed more emphasis on sociological jurisprudence and was less skeptical of using social sciences to study law. Alexander also notes differences in their views on judicial decision making, with the American version believing judges were more politically motivated while the Scandinavian view saw judges as more neutral.
