In this book\, Constable argue s that both law and language bind us\, and that attending to law’s languag e enables us to recognize law not primarily as a matter of rules but of sp eech. Constable draws on Austin\, Cavell\, Reinach\, Nietzsche\, and other s to show how claims of law are performative and passionate utterances or social acts that appeal implicitly to justice. Those who attend the semina r will be expected to read a chapter from the book. In the seminar\, Const able will talk about how her work on legal rhetoric informs her new projec t on Chicago’s husband killers and will lead a discussion about the pre-ci rculated chapter.\n\nLa conférencière\n\n(En anglais seulement)\n\nMariann e Constable is Professor of Rhetoric at the University of California\, Ber keley and author of The Law of the Other: The Mixed Jury and Changing Conc eptions of Citizenship\, Law and Knowledge (winner of the Law & Society As sociation J.
