Of necessity, lawyers and judges need to devise techniques to make rules respond situationally. The performance of law supplements, or it extends the reach of, the law-as-written. And, in this respect, the act of lawyering is in many ways an instantiation of acts often associated with, for example, literature and the plastic and performing arts. Combining legal theory and legal practice, this book maintains that the modes of enquiry found in, and applied to, novels, paintings, and plays can help us understand how things like legal arguments and trials work - or don't. As such, and through the examination of a wide range of both historical and fictional legal cases, the book pursues an interdisciplinary analysis of how law is performed; and, moreover, how legal performances can be accomplished ethically. This book will appeal to scholars and students in sociolegal studies, legal theory and jurisprudence, as well as those teaching and training in legal practice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Practice of law. 650 0 $a Lawyers. 650 0 $a Fictions (Law) 650 0 $a Imagination. 650 0 $a Law in literature. 650 0 $a Law in motion pictures. 650 7 $a Fictions (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923777 650 7 $a Imagination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967585 650 7 $a Law in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994014 650 7 $a Law in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903754 650 7 $a Lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994346 650 7 $a Practice of law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074534 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gordon, Randy D., 1955- $t Performance of law $d Abingdon, Oxon [UK] ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003304579 $w (DLC) 2022009552 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011734.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8B91DD696FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
