Ethnographies of Justice: Doing Some Justice to "Justice and Law"

This symposium seeks to generate fresh theoretical thinking about the relations between justice and law. In particular, it aims to reappraise justice conceptually by insisting on a theoretical openness to justice within and beyond law, and indeed against law. The symposium's articles conceive justice and law both within their plurality and variety and in their own terms and relations. The symposium carries the inquiry into fields beyond defined categories so as to reveal some of the social, political, and ethical ideas, registers, and concealed forces at work and at stake in the domain of justice.
