Through their narrative choices, Henderson argues, judges create a normative universe - the world of right and wrong within which they make their judgements - and fashion their own judicial self-images. Drawing on the work of the law and literature movement, \u003cem\u003eCreating Legal Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e is a convincing argument for paying close attention to the role of story and style in the creation of judicial decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greig Henderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442637080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442637085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2016","brand":"Greig Henderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48458329981183,"sku":"9781442637085","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d618c74-1d63-4484-9ddd-e05d335ff859.jpg?v=1777403773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/creating-legal-worlds-greig-henderson-9781442637085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
