"The essays in The Place of Law speak to the role of place in our understanding of law. The contributors treat place as more than geographical fact - calling attention to the ways in which localized cultures are expressed in legal norms, inquiring about new spaces within which legal authority is being deployed, and examining the interactions between law and the process of globalization. This volume sheds new light on the ways in which law defines territory and its boundaries, both literally and conceptually. The contributors highlight law's spatial aspects and the legal regulation of space, revealing that law lives most vividly not within its majestic embodiments, but in the realm of the ordinary."--BOOK JACKET.
