Legal practice is not just a matter of text-based, normative argumentation. It is also a material and bodily reality, which can be studied from aesthetic or artistic perspectives. Examples are legal architecture, paratextual elements, audiovisual representations or performances in law. Within legal argumentation, aesthetics also plays a significant role, as a matter of style or as an independent argument (e.g. in cultural heritage law). Several techniques used by artists are also employed by lawyers – albeit often implicit, e.g. in the construction of stories and characters. At the same time, law often figures in artistic productions, such as theatre plays, movies, novels, paintings or sculptures. Studying the relation between law, aesthetics and art requires multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. We therefore welcome manuscripts that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. We also welcome books that experiment with different styles of writing, e.g. through scripts or autobiographical stories or submissions that include images or QR links to audiovisuals or films. Finally, we welcome books that focus on the use of art and aesthetics in legal education, or on the use of law in teaching in the humanities.
