This book takes its cue from the observation that jurisdiction -
as the speech of law - articulates or proclaims law. Without
jurisdiction the law would be speechless, without authority and
authorisation. So too would be critics who approach the law or want
to live lawfully. As a field of legal knowledge and legal practice,
jurisdiction is concerned with the modes of authority and the
manner of the authorisation of law. It encompasses the broadest
questions of the authority and the founding of legal order as well
as the minutest detail of the ordering of the business of the
administration and adjudication of justice. It gives us both the
point of articulation of law and the technological means of the
expression of law. It gives us too, the understanding of the limits
of the authority of law, as well as the resources for engaging with
the plurality of laws, and the means of engaging in lawful
behaviour. A critical approach to law through the forms of
authority and action in law provides a means of engaging with the
quality of relations created and maintained through law and a means
of taking responsibility for the practices of jurisdiction (and
what is done in the name of the law).
This book provides a critical, and historically grounded,
elaboration of the key themes of jurisdiction. It does so by
offering students and scholars of law a form of critical engagement
with the technologies, devices and forms of jurisdictional
ordering. It shows how the common has authorised legal relations
and bound persons, places, and events to the body of law. It offers
a number of resources and engagements of jurisdiction on the basis
that a jurisprudence of jurisdiction, if it is anything, engages
forms of human relation.
