The making of law
by Bruno Latour
A case study of the daily practice of one of the French supreme courts, the Conseil d'Etat, which specialises in administrative law. Because of an unprecedented access to the collective discussions of judges, the author is able to reconstruct in detail the weaving of legal reasoning.
