Ethnomethodologists and Conversation Analysts have always been interested in the study of law and legal institutions and there is now a large body of empirical studies, representing a range of analytic traditions in each field. This collection introduces this literature and the research questions pursued by ethnomethodologists and conversation analysts, in an accessible form to a general audience in the inter-disciplinary field of law and society studies.
’...Stacy Burns’ account of the interchange between a law Professor and a group of students would make excellent preparatory reading for law school initiates anxious about the proverbial hot seat...Gregory Matosian’s detailed exposition of segments of cross-examiniation from Kennedy-Smith rape trail...provides a great lesson for students of trial conduct, not least those who are interested in the plight of rape victims in the witness box.’ International Journal of the Sociology of Law ’...welcome contribution to the literature, providing a display of the diversity of ethnomethodological possibilities for understanding and respecification of legal activity.’ Sociology
