The Narrative Approach to Law

The Narrative Approach to Law emphasizes understanding legal issues through the stories people tell about their experiences and perspectives. Instead of focusing solely on strict rules or codes, it considers how stories shape individuals' sense of identity, responsibility, and justice. This approach recognizes that law is intertwined with human stories, meaning that fairness and meaning can depend on how events are narrated and interpreted. It encourages listening to diverse voices and contexts to create a more nuanced and responsive understanding of legal situations.
