Law and Literature Movement

The Law and Literature Movement explores the connections between legal texts—such as statutes, judicial opinions—and literary works like stories and poetry. It examines how language, narrative, and storytelling influence legal interpretation and understanding. By analyzing legal language through literary methods, the movement seeks to deepen our comprehension of law’s human, cultural, and moral dimensions. It encourages interdisciplinary study, recognizing that law is not just about rules but also about the stories and language that shape justice and societal values.
