Edinburgh Critical Studies in Law, Literature and the HumanitiesSeries Editor: William P. MacNeil, Southern Cross University

With a global reach, this innovative series critically reimagines the interdisciplinary relationship between legal and literary (or other aesthetic) texts, through the most advanced theories and frameworks from the humanities and jurisprudence.www.edinburghuniversitypress.com/series/ecsllh

Schreber’s LawJurisprudence and Judgment in Transition Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law

Reappraises – and reinstates – the jurisprudence of Judge Schreber, looking beyond his mental health to his distinguished contribution to legal theoryDaniel Paul Schreber (1842–1911) was a senior German judge and jurist whose theoretical work has been largely ignored due to their mental illness and desire to be a woman in a time inhospitable to transitions. Now, Schreber’s Law looks beyond Schreber’s mental health to reappraise their legal theory. Peter Goodrich analyses Schreber’s Memoirs of My Nervous Illness (2003) and its previous interpreters against the background of Schreber’s intellectual context to show how Schreber challenges the legal thought of their era and opens up a vital approach to contemporary jurisprudence.

Butler and television’s Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who, this is the first sustained examination of legality in science fiction. Kieran Tranter includes substantive worked examples of the law and legal concepts projected by these science fiction texts, such as Australian car culture, legal responses to cloning and the relationship between legal theory and science fiction.

Legal Reform in English Renaissance LiteratureVirginia Lee Strain, Loyola University, Chicago

Investigates the rhetorical and representational practices that monitored English law at the turn of the 17th centuryThe late-Elizabethan and early Jacobean surge in the policies and enforcement of the reformation of manners has been well-documented. What has gone unnoticed, however, is the degree to which the law itself was the focus of reform for legislators, the judiciary, preachers and writers alike. While the majority of law and literature studies characterise the law as a force of coercion and subjugation, Virginia Lee Strain instead treats law’s own vulnerability – to both corruption and correction – in greater depth.

A new philosophical reflection on the secret and its importance to our contemporary political experienceThe Snowden Affair, WikiLeaks, the ‘lone wolf’ terrorist, Clinton’s private email account – secrets are arguably the central element of our contemporary political experience. Now, Charles Barbour asks a basic ontological question: ‘what is a secret?’ Reflecting on Jacques Derrida’s later writings and seminars on secrecy, four chapters each look at a separate problematic: society and the oath, literature and testimony, philosophy and deception, and time and death.

A Foucauldian Interpretation of Modern LawFrom Sovereignty to Normalisation and Beyond Jacopo Martire, University of Stirling

Addresses a surprisingly overlooked Foucauldian conundrum: what is the logical relationship between modern law and power?‘Taking radical legal theory in a wholly novel direction, Jacopo Martire argues that contemporary biopolitics, marked indelibly by the emergence of the virtual subject, liquid institutions and an increasingly xenomorphic social body, has exploded the utility of modern law and most specifically the concept of rights. Painstakingly reconstructing the history of legal categories, A Foucauldian Interpretation of Modern Law returns to the roots of critique and excoriates the repetitively liberal foundations of critical legal thinking.’ Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law, New York

• Surveys the development of the modern legal phenomenon in an innovative and original way

• Demonstrates the critical limits of both liberal and radical approaches to law

• Develops the potential of Foucault’s theory for analysing contemporary law, opening up new avenues for research

Levinas, Ethics and Law Matthew Stone, University of Essex

A provocative account of how Levinas’ ethics can help us understand our relationship with lawLevinas has been read, variously, as a theorist of judicial activism, a champion of radical human rights, an illuminator of the inner soul of private law and a proponent of natural law theory.

Matthew Stone asks what unites such apparently disparate applications of Levinas’ ideas about law and, in doing so, explores the ethical challenge of law’s relationship with the Other. Stone ultimately offers a sceptical conclusion on the capacity of such an ethics to be invested in legal institutions and instead proposes that Levinas’ ethics should be embodied in the perpetual critique of law.

In Search of the WayLegal Philosophy of the Classic Chinese Thinkers Wejen Chang, Academia Sinica, Taipei

What did the classical Chinese thinkers have to say about Law in their search for the Way?‘Anyone and everyone interested in the foundations of Chinese thought about law and legal institutions should applaud the publication of In Search of the Way … It is the culmination of a lifetime of learning and deep reflection by an extraordinary scholar, and replete with enormous insight and wisdom.’ William P. Alford, Harvard Law School

Wejen Chang brings a fresh perspective to the most prominent philosophers of the classical period – Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, Xunzi, Lord Shang and Han Fei. Chang shows how these thinkers addressed the key question of how philosophical thinking can serve humanity and society. He systematically presents their different solutions and evaluates them according to reason and experience, helping you to understand the philosophical roots of law and Chinese law in particular.

Wrongful Damage to Property in Roman LawBritish Perspectives Edited by Paul J. du Plessis, University of Edinburgh

A new assessment of the importance of the lex Aquilia (wrongful damage to property) on Roman law in BritainFew topics have had a more profound impact on the study of Roman law in the UK than the lex Aquilia, a Roman statute enacted c.287/286 bce to reform the Roman law on wrongful damage to property. This volume investigates this peculiarly British fixation against the backdrop of larger themes such as the development of delict/tort in Britain and the rise of comparative law.

A fundamental re-assessment of Cicero’s place in Roman law This volume brings together an international team of scholars to debate Cicero’s role in the narrative of Roman law in the late Republic – a role that has been minimised or overlooked in previous scholarship.

Scottish Criminal Evidence LawCurrent Developments and Future Trends Edited by Peter Duff, University of Aberdeen, and Pamela R. Ferguson, University of Dundee

Analyses the recent, sweeping changes to Scottish criminal evidence law and its likely future‘[This book] brings together a stimulating collection of essays, each of which deserves to be read carefully. They should be thought about carefully too, as plans are laid for the law’s future development.’ Lord Hope of Craighead, Former Deputy President of the UK Supreme Court

Scottish criminal evidence law has recently undergone major, primarily reactive, changes with more reform on the way. The areas affected include: police questioning of suspects, the treatment of vulnerable witnesses in court, hearsay, the admissibility of the accused’s previous convictions, the Crown’s duty of disclosure and the need for corroboration. This book gathers leading experts to analyse these changes, discern any patterns and ask what the ramifications are for the future of Scottish criminal evidence law.
