Abstract

Jurisprudence usually examines law and its system as a set of rules and doctrines, but the linguistic and rhetorical means it uses remain almost entirely outside the realm of legal scholars, despite the fact that language plays a crucial role in both law-making as well as in its implementation. This book acquaints the reader with the most basic principles of the interdisciplinary way of examining law, especially with the different ways of interaction of different art forms and legal texts.

We examine how law is represented in different cultural contexts, and we also explore the possibilities of interpreting legal texts as literary and artistic products in the broadest sense.
