Con influencia europea la sociología jurídica nace en Latinoamérica, para avanzar por tres etapas. En la primera, coincide con las críticas al positivismo jurídico; en la segunda, las contribuciones esclarecen el objeto de estudio y sus fundamentos teóricos y metodológicos; por último, es forjado un ambiente maduro para su progreso.
