This volume addresses judgment and interpretation as a central concern within the field of law, literature and humanities. It is not only a study of law as praxis that combines academic legal theory with judicial practice, but proposes both as central to humanistic jurisprudence and as a training in the conduct of public life. Drawing extensively on philosophical and legal scholarship and through analysis of literary works from Gustave Flaubert, Robert Musil, Gerrit Achterberg, Ian McEwan, Michel Houellebecq and Juli Zeh, Jeanna Gaakeer proposes a perspective on law as part of the humanities that will inspire legal professionals, scholars and advanced students of law alike.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Jeanne Gaakeer's expertise in legal theory, and her judicial practice in criminal law in a Court of Appeal, are combined to offer a new perspective on law as part of the humanities that will inspire legal professionals, scholars and advanced students of law alike.
