The Law and Literature Movement

The Law and Literature Movement explores the connection between legal texts and literary works, emphasizing how literature deepens our understanding of legal principles, justice, and human experiences. It examines how stories, language, and narrative shape legal ideas, revealing the moral and cultural dimensions of law. By analyzing literature alongside legal texts, scholars seek to create a more nuanced view of justice, highlighting the ways laws impact individuals’ lives and societal values. This interdisciplinary approach enriches both legal interpretation and literary analysis, fostering a broader, more human-centered understanding of law’s role in society.
