Understanding legal rules not as determinants of behavior but as
points of reference for conduct, this volume considers the ways in
which rules are invoked, referred to, interpreted, put forward or
blurred. It also asks how both legal practitioners and lay
participants conceive of and participate in the construction of
facts and rules, and thus, through decisions, defenses, pleas,
files, evidence, interviews and documents, actively participate in
law's life. With attention to the formulation of notions such as
person, evidence, intention, cause and responsibility in the course
of legal practices, Legal Rules in Practice provides the outlines
of a praxiological anthropology of law - an anthropology that
focuses on words, concepts and reasoning as actively used to solve
conflicts with the help of legal rules. As such, it will appeal to
sociologists, anthropologists and scholars of law with interests in
ethnomethodology, rule-based conduct and practical reasoning.
