Lyrics in the Law

Music's Influence on America's Courts

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Traditionally judges use recognized legal maxims to support their rulings, but today's judiciary is becoming more apt to use pop culture, modern music, even humor in their decisions. This book examines how song lyrics have influenced judges, provided themes for their decisions, and helped make existing law more accessible.
