Nobody's Law shows how people - who are disappointed, disenchanted,
and outraged about the justice system - gradually move away from
law. Using detailed case studies and combining different
theoretical perspectives, this book explores the legal
consciousness of ordinary people, businessmen, and street-level
bureaucrats in the Netherlands. The empirical research in this
study tells an original and alternative narrative about the role of
law in everyday life. While previous studies emphasize the law's
hegemony and argue that it's 'all over', Hertogh shows that legal
proliferation makes it harder for people to know, and subsequently
identify with, the law. As a result, official law has become
increasingly remote and irrelevant to many people. The central
finding presented in this highly topical text is that these
developments signal a process of 'legal alienation'- a gradual and
mundane process with potentially serious consequences for the
legitimacy of law. A timely and original study, this book will be
of particular interest to scholars in the fields of law and
society, socio-legal studies and legal theory.
