Evidence and the Archive

Ethics, Aesthetics and Emotion

Herausgeber: Biber, Katherine; Luker, Trish

Beschreibung

This collection explores the stakes, risks and opportunities invoked in opening and exploring law's archive and re-examining law's evidence. It draws together work exploring how evidence is used or mis-used during the legal process, and re-used after the law's work has concluded by engaging with ethical, aesthetic or emotional dimensions of using law's evidence.
