Legal Meanings: The Making and Use of Meaning in Legal Reasoning

by Janet Giltrow (Editor), Frances Olsen (Editor), Donato Mancini (Editor)

Overview

This collection is about how law makes meaning and how meaning makes law. Through clear methodology and substantial findings, chapters expose the deficits of ‘literal’ meaning and the difficulties in 'ordinary' meaning, in international legal contexts and in more immediate social ones, as well as in courtrooms. Further, chapters in this volume see the challenges to national and international commitments to all speakers sharing a common meaning.
