Stories About Science in Law: Literary and Historical Images of Acquired Expertise

By David S. Caudill

Book Overview

The book presents examples of how literary sources can provide a supplement to our understanding of science in law. Challenging the view that law and science are completely different, insofar as the former is associated with social or communal conventions, rhetorical strategies, and local institutions, the study discusses texts that suggest that science shares those very same features with law.
