What is the poethic method of reading law ? It claims that the form of a judicial opinion is indistinguishable from its substance. The structure, syntax, and word choice of the judge are not mere ornament ; they in fact comprise the decision. You cannot extract the judge's manner of writing from the rule, or holding, of the decision, or if you do it is only at your peril. As Benjamin N Cardozo put it in his seminal 1925 essay called "Law and Literature":Form is not something added to substance a …

L'une des positions que Droit et Littérature a prise sur le plan théorique pendant la période de déconstruction a été que la fiction soutient – plutôt qu'elle nie, comme chez Derrida ou Paul de Man – une approche de la justice liée au droit. Cet article identifie le « roman de procédure » – un groupe important d'histoires liées au droit, écrites sur une centaine d'années, de Dostoïevsky à Camus et Bernard Malamud – comme l'espace où le lecteur attentif peut mettre à jour une réalité pré-existante soit à laquelle l'enquête légale et le raisonnement restent fidèles, soit dont ils s'éloignent fatalement. La « situation antérieure », dans ces histoires, fournit un lieu de vérité qui n'est pas disponible ailleurs. Ces romans établissent ainsi une norme de re-création précise des évènements antérieurs afin de rendre justice.

Résumé Richard Weisberg fait remonter les origines du mouvement américain Droit et Littérature à l'impulsion démocratique propre à deux auteurs du début du 20e siècle, Dean John Henry Wigmore et le juge Benjamin N. Cardozo ; il décrit ensuite les variantes qui émergent aujourd'hui sur le continent européen. Le point central de compréhension du droit par ses praticiens, mais aussi par les non-initiés, est le texte littéraire lui-même. Les histoires de juges, de règles de droit, d'avocats et d'autorités politiques habituent le lecteur professionnel à la « comédie humaine » avec laquelle il ou elle doit composer quotidiennement et poussent le lecteur lambda à être plus attentif aux discours de l'autorité. Une lecture scrupuleuse de deux oeuvres classiques de Droit et Littérature (L'Étranger de Camus, et Billy Budd, marin de Melville) permet de démontrer l'étendue, la théorie et la méthodologie de ce nouveau champs interdisciplinaire.

One of the positions taken theoretically by Law and Literature during the parallel period of deconstruction has been that fiction supports A rather than denies, as in Derrida or de Man A a law-related approach to justice. This essay identifies the AA procedural novel an important grouping of law-related stories spanning 100 years from Dostoevski to Camus and Bernard Malamud A as the place in which the careful reader can uncover a pre-existing reality to which legal investigation and reasoning remain faithful or from which they fatefully depart. The A "A anterior positionA A" in these stories provides a locus of truth not available elsewhere. Stories thus establish a norm of accurate recreation of prior events in order to do justice in the world. Adapted from the source document.

Richard Weisberg returns to the origins of the American law and literature movement by the democratic impulse of two authors of the beginning of the 20th century, Dean John Henry Wigmore and Judge Benjamin Cardoza; he subsequently describes the variants that are emerging today on the European continent. The central legal understanding of the law for its practitioners, as well as for laypeople, is the literary text itself. The stories of judges, the rules of law, lawyers, and political authorities habituate the professional reader to the "human comedy" with which he or she must deal each day, and pushes the reader to be more attentive to the discourse of authority. A scrupulous reading of the two classic works of law and literature (Camus' The Stranger, and Herman Melville's Billy Budd) permits the demonstration of the methodology of this new interdisciplinary field.
