It has long been recognized that court trials in the common law
system, both criminal and civil, operate around pairs of competing
narratives told by opposing advocates. In recent years, however, it
has increasingly been argued that narrative flows in many
directions and through every form of legal theory and practice.
Interest in the part played by metaphor in the law, including
metaphors for the law, and for many standard concepts in legal
practice, has also been strong, though research under the metaphor
banner has been much more fragmentary. In this book, for the first
time, a distinguished group of legal scholars, collaborating with
specialists from cognitive theory, journalism, rhetoric, social
psychology, criminology, and legal activism, explore how narrative
and metaphor are both vital to the legal process. Together, they
examine topics including concepts of law, legal persuasion, human
rights law, gender in the law, innovations in legal thinking, legal
activism, creative work around the law, and public debate around
crime and punishment.
