Yet while scholars have examined the many functions and effects of narrative in legal decisions, courtroom arguments, and the stories we tell about the law, research on law and narrative has generally limited its focus to the most overtly noticeable place for narrative in legal writing--the factual material presented in trials. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLaw, Narrative, Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e explores legal narrative in a variety of contexts, including pre-trial litigation, trial argument-framing, legal decisions, human rights law, media reports on court cases, and work advocating for legal change. Taking a comparative approach to the intersections of law, narrative, and narratology, contributors consider various \"narrators\" of law to make sense of areas of legal argumentation beyond the current scope of narratological-legal research. By examining topics ranging from the distinction between a story's narrative and its discourse to the use of narrative perspective, the essays in this volume illuminate the techniques legal actors use to craft stories, as well as the narrative arcs their interlocutors inhabit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEditors Greta Olson and Simon Stern have cultivated a collection of essays by global legal and narrative scholars, allowing the volume and its contributors to assess an array of narratological issues across national and international boundaries, and civil and criminal law contexts. Offering a fresh analysis of narrative's uses in the law, \u003ci\u003eLaw, Narrative, and Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e provides a needed expansion of the study of narrative across the justice system.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon Stern (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSimon Stern\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law and English at the University of Toronto and the co-editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Law and Humanities\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Routledge Research Companion to Law and Humanities in Nineteenth-Century America.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreta Olson (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eGreta Olson\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English and American Literary and Cultural Studies at the University of Giessen and the author of \u003ci\u003eFrom Law and Literature to Legality and Affect\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 11, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54589311910163,"sku":"9781479835577","price":160.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/6300\/3667\/files\/PqOTzNUuiR9781479835577.webp?v=1787161869","url":"https:\/\/finduslaw.com\/products\/law-narrative-narratology-interdisciplinary-essays-hardcover","provider":"FindUSlaw Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
