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 1487523807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487523800\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 09\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Greig Henderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073016033535,"sku":"9781487523800","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e0ada16-617b-47cd-9521-9edc345e6bc3.jpg?v=1685445304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/creating-legal-worlds-greig-henderson-9781487523800","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
