Foreword: Telling Stories, Kim Lane Schepple
Foreword: Telling Stories, Kim Lane Schepple
Michigan Law Review
Why is there such a rush to storytelling? Why has narrative become such an important and recurring theme in legal scholarship these days?
This issue testifies to the attractiveness of, and limits to, storytelling as a force in law. But whose stories are told? Who listens? And who responds? This symposium explores these questions, challenging traditional practices and exploring new ones in the telling of stories in the law. One important lesson that can be learned from this issue is that narrative is a way of organizing, coping with, even acting on the world. Stories carry power because they have …
Empathy, Legal Storytelling, And The Rule Of Law: New Words, Old Wounds?, Toni M. Massaro
Empathy, Legal Storytelling, And The Rule Of Law: New Words, Old Wounds?, Toni M. Massaro
Michigan Law Review
The legal storytelling theme that is the focus of this symposium is part of a larger, ongoing intellectual movement. American legal scholarship of the past several decades has revealed deep dissatisfaction with the abstract and collective focus of law and legal discourse. The rebellion against abstraction has, of late, been characterized by a "call to context." One strand of this complex body of thought argues that law should concern itself more with the concrete lives of persons affected by it. One key word in the dialogue is the term "empathy," which appears frequently in the work of critical legal studies, …
The Cognitive Dimension Of The Agon Between Legal Power And Narrative Meaning, Steven L. Winter
The Cognitive Dimension Of The Agon Between Legal Power And Narrative Meaning, Steven L. Winter
Michigan Law Review
In Part II, I first provide a brief description of what we are learning about the grounded and imaginative nature of the cognitive process. I then elaborate the cognitive structure of the concept narrative and consider the manner in which we employ that concept in recognizing, understanding, and constructing narratives of all types - from folktales like the midrash to avant-garde literature like Waiting for Godot. In Part III, I employ this information about the cognitive and narrative processes to explore the secondary role of narrative in the institutionalization of legal and social meaning. I will identify the cognitive …
Storytelling For Oppositionists And Others: A Plea For Narrative, Richard Delgado
Storytelling For Oppositionists And Others: A Plea For Narrative, Richard Delgado
Michigan Law Review
This essay examines the use of stories in the struggle for racial reform. Part I shows how we construct social reality by devising and passing on stories - interpretive structures by which we impose order on experience and it on us. To illustrate how stories structure reality, I choose a single race-tinged event and tell it in the form of five stories or narratives. Each account is followed by analysis, showing what the story includes and leaves out and how it perpetuates one version of social reality rather than another. Part II deals with counterstories, competing versions that can be …
Persuasion, Joseph William Singer
Persuasion, Joseph William Singer
Michigan Law Review
Lawyers spend a lot of time attempting to persuade other people. They persuade judges to promulgate rules of law that favor their clients. They persuade their law partners to adopt their interpretation of existing law or to adopt their strategy for litigation. They persuade clients to accept the dictates of the law. They persuade adversaries in settlement negotiations and their clients' business associates in contract negotiations. They persuade legislatures to fund legal services for the poor, to adopt or to reject law reforms.
Law professors spend most of their time teaching - or at least practicing - the art of …
A Tale Of Two Clients: Thinking About Law As Language, Clark D. Cunningham
A Tale Of Two Clients: Thinking About Law As Language, Clark D. Cunningham
Michigan Law Review
This is a true story. It is actually three true stories. The article taken as a whole tells a story of my personal search for a new way of talking about the experience of being a lawyer, a quest which is leading me to think more and more about law as a kind of language and lawyering as a form of translation. Rather like a medieval romance, embedded within this story of a quest are two tales, about clients I have represented in the course of my clinical teaching.
As much as possible, both levels of narrative are presented in …
