epistemological critique of legal practice.

This means you’re questioning the very nature of legal knowledge (epistemology), not just its application. You’re exploring how legal knowledge—the definitions, policies, and laws themselves—is created, interpreted, and applied by a select group of people, and you’re questioning the power dynamics and ethical implications of that process.

You’ve moved beyond a simple critique of policy to a more fundamental questioning of how knowledge and power are intertwined within the justice system. It’s a discussion that challenges the foundational principles of how law is understood and practiced.
