Conversation and argument concerning laws and legal situations take place throughout society and at all levels, yet the language of these conversations differs greatly from that of the courtroom. This insightful book considers the gap between everyday discussion about law and the artificial, technical language developed by lawyers, judges and other legal specialists. In doing so, it explores the intriguing possibilities for future synthesis, a problem often neglected by legal theory.

Risk Conversations is the result of three days of discussion, dialogue and listening from thee dispositions: the law, social psychology and ?collective coherence'. Sometimes what makes a conversation ?risky? is that those involved belong to different groups or collectives. This means that there is the potential for disagreements or confusion to occur based not on a difference of opinion over a particular idea, discourse or ?text?, but over a deeper conflict of colliding trajectories of one or more, alternate, coherent views of reality, that is, different Collective Coherences. This can happen when people belong to different groups that make assumptions about:... the nature of things, the categories in which they think, and the logic that organises these categories into a coherent understanding of reality. It becomes increasingly clear that people live not in the same world with different labels attached to it but in radically different conceptual worlds Hiebert (2008, p. 15).The three authors gathered together for three days and recorded their conversations producing a series of videos, a talking book and the transcripts that formed the content of this book.Knowing that people make mistakes is one thing; understanding why they behave as they do will provide a much more meaningful and effective roadmap to help us navigate within the boundaries prescribed by the law.A proper appreciation of the social psychology of risk, and the legal boundaries within which it operates, helps us understand how to tackle risk in a more mature and intelligent way.

"William Shakespeare is inextricably linked with the law. Legal documents make up most of the records we have of his life; trials, lawsuits, and legal terms permeate his plays. Gathering an extraordinary team of literary and legal scholars, philosophers, and even sitting judges, Shakespeare and the Law demonstrates that Shakespeare's thinking about legal concepts and legal practice points to a deep and sometimes vexed engagement with the law's technical workings, its underlying premises, and its social effects. Shakespeare and the Law opens with three essays that provide useful frameworks for approaching the topic, offering perspectives on law and literature that emphasize both the continuities and the contrasts between the two fields. In its second section, the book considers Shakespeare's awareness of common-law thinking and practice through examinations of Measure for Measure and Othello. Building and expanding on this question, the third part inquires into Shakespeare's general attitudes toward legal systems. A judge and former solicitor general rule on Shylock's demand for enforcement of his odd contract; and two essays by literary scholars take contrasting views on whether Shakespeare could imagine a functioning legal system. The fourth section looks at how law enters into conversation with issues of politics and community, both in the plays and in our own world. The volume concludes with a freewheeling colloquy among Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer, Judge Richard A. Posner, Martha C. Nussbaum, and Richard Strier that covers everything from the ghost in Hamlet to the nature of judicial discretion"--Jacket.
