Spaces of Law

 

What are the spaces of law? In this set of curated conversations, we speak with scholars, artists and architects who have considered the relationship between the social, legal and spatial. We look not only at courtrooms and collectors’ offices, which are considered paradigmatic spaces of law, but also at other natural and built environments that have shaped legal consciousness – and which has been shaped in turn, by legal ideas and actors.  Our first series is on courtrooms.
