<p>In law, feminists have typically studied men and masculinities implicitly, that is, as the unstated norm or source of power. However, the scarce and diffuse attempts to study men as men and masculinities in law indicate that incorporating critical studies of men and masculinities into the legal field allows us to better understand how law, gender, and power interconnect. This article is therefore a call to further develop the emerging field of Critical Legal Masculinities Studies (CLMS) as a coherent and unified research project. While most existing scholarship has focused on how law constructs men’s intersectional identities (‘men in law’), I argue that a proper understanding of key concepts in critical masculinities studies requires us to conjointly analyse how men use law as a tool to maintain their hegemony (‘men and law’). Besides offering a guiding impulse, this article also reflects on the benefits and caveats of operationalising CLMS.</p>
