Interactional Justice explores how defence lawyers accomplish their
role in interaction with others and highlights the ways in which
they do loyalty work - constructing and conveying loyalty in
emotionally and interactionally constraining situations. By drawing
on extensive ethnographic fieldnotes and interviews with lawyers,
this sociological study brings their loyalty work to life and
reveals to the reader the unwritten rules of emotional
interactions. It presents how defence lawyers socially construct
their duty of loyalty by negotiating informal and implicit
professional and social expectations. This accomplishment demands
emotion work and face work in order to perform a role which
includes defending clients accused of heinous crimes and "losing"
the majority of cases. As the defence team is central to this, the
ways of doing teamwork are illustrated. Teamwork is also found to
be essential between legal professionals to ensure that a criminal
trial runs smoothly. All of this takes place within an overarching
framework - the emotional regime of law - which aims to uphold the
illusionary dichotomy between rationality and emotionality thus
quietening the role of emotions. Loyalty and teamwork are features
of many professions, workplaces, and aspects of social life making
this book an essential tool for understanding strategies for their
accomplishment. Focusing on courtroom emotions and interactions,
the book suggests how trials can be made more user-friendly and
provides guidance for newly qualified legal professionals. The use
of ethnographic fieldnotes and interviews provides scholars and
students in the social sciences, teaching, law, and medicine with a
colourful monograph which reveals and explains emotion and
interaction rules. It also makes this book a useful tool for
teaching and understanding qualitative research methods.
