 \n(En anglais seulement) Between 1866 and 1931\, over 250 women in Chicago
  killed their partners\, but all-male coroner’s juries\, grand juries and 
 petit juries exonerated most women under a 'new unwritten law'. Marianne C
 onstable unearths the stories of some of these women\, and explores the va
 rious possible meanings of this new unwritten law\, among them self-defens
 e\, temporary insanity\, and battered woman syndrome. Her research investi
 gates the ways in which history and law privilege writing as sources\, evi
 dence and authority\, and it analyzes the turn-of-the-century emergence of
  an account of law based on social\, statistical\, and psychological knowl
 edge.  As a contribution to legal philosophy\, the project shows how claim
 s about a new unwritten law marked a period in which imperfect and incompl
 ete understandings of law came to be articulated through the formal speech
  acts that are now often taken - mistakenly - to be wholly determinative o
 f law.\n\nLa conférencière\n\n(En anglais seulement)  Marianne Constable i
