This volume examines the nature, function, development and
epistemological assumptions of the legal case in an
interdisciplinary context. Using the question of 'reading' as a
guiding principle, it opens up new ways of understanding case law
and the doctrine of precedent by bringing the law into dialogue
with the humanities. What happens when a legal case is read not
only by lawyers, but by literary critics, by linguists, by
philosophers, or by historians? How do film makers and writers
adapt and transform legal cases in their work? How might one
interpret fiction in the context of the historical development of
the common law? The essays in this volume test the boundaries of
the legal case as a genre by inviting perspectives from other
disciplines, and in doing so also raise more fundamental questions
of what constitutes law and legal thinking. This book will be of
interest to anyone seeking a better understanding of the common
law, the humanities, and the intersection between them.
