""" Laws of Transgression is a well-curated and thoughtful collection of essays that offer an interesting diversity of views on the Schreber case from an important new perspective - namely, that of the judge himself as a juridical subject. This volume makes a number of significant contributions to the writing on the Schreber case."" --Simon Stern, Professor of Law and English, University of Toronto "" Laws of Transgression is based on the brave, and I am now convinced correct, reading of Judge Daniel Paul Schreber's Memoirs as a legal document. An enormous amount of scholarship is rendered possible by this reading, by taking Schreber seriously, not as a mystic or a crazy person but as a legal scholar in his own right. Perhaps more radically still, the authors consider Schreber's own body as a corpus iuris, a legal body which itself tells us volumes about the possibilities for a law that is radically unmoored from conventional models of nature, God, and time."" --James R. Martel, Professor of Political Science, San Francisco State University"
