Reviews

Contributors to Sharp and Leiboff's collection examine how the techniques and practices of cultural legal studies can be used to metamorphose law and the legalities that underpin its popular imaginary. By drawing on three different modes of cultural legal studies-storytelling, technology, and jurisprudence-the collection seeks to showcase the intersectional practices of cultural legal studies, and law in its popular cultural mode. Law and Social Inquiry Journal
