Living in a Law Transformed: Encounters with the Works of James Boyd White

Overview

"In 2013, an international group of jurists gathered in London to mark the 40th anniversary of the publication of James Boyd White's The Legal Imagination, the book that is widely credited with instigating and inspiring the modern ""law and literature"" and ""law and humanities"" movements in university teaching and research. The authors of each of the twelve essays in this collection offer a personal reflection on teaching, researching, and practicing law in the light of White's invitation to reimagine the law and our own relationship with it. Each is therefore a personal response to the challenge of bringing legal work to life and life to legal work. Topics covered range from rhetoric to human rights, from silence to slow reading, from film to material culture, and from the natural world to the realm of religious experience. This book hopes to make life in the law more meaningful for the scholar, the judge, the attorney, and the student, following the sometimes hard path that James Boyd White set for himself to follow."
