This book explores the 'backstage' of transnational legal practice
by illuminating the routines and habits that are crucial to the
field, yet rarely studied. Through innovative discussion of
practices often considered trivial, the book encourages readers to
conceptualise the 'backstage' as emblematic of transnational legal
practice. Expanding the focus of transnational legal scholarship,
the book explores the seemingly mundane procedures which are often
taken for granted, despite being widely recognized as part of what
it means to 'do transnational law'. Adopting various methodologies
and approaches, each chapter focuses on one specific practice: for
example, mooting exercises for law students, international travel,
transnational time, the social media activities of lawyers and
legal scholars, and the networking at the ICC's annual Assembly of
States Parties. In and of themselves, these chapters each provide
unique insights into what happens before the curtain rises and
after it falls on the familiar 'outputs' of transnational law. It
does more, however, than provide a range of different practices: it
takes the next step in theorizing on the importance of the marginal
and the everyday for what we 'know' to be 'the law' and what the
international legal field looks like. Furthermore, by interrogating
undiscussed academic practices, it provides students with a candid
view on the perils and promises of transnational legal scholarship,
inviting them to join the discussion and to practice their
discipline in a more reflexive way. Written in an accessible
format, containing a readable collection of personal and
recognizable accounts of transnational legal practice, the book
provides an everyday insight into transnational law. It will
therefore appeal to international legal scholars, alongside any
reader with an interest in transnational law.
