CFP: Gardens of Justice

What are constitutions if not plans for gardens?

A wonderful and imaginative call for papers for a critical legal conference in Stokholm this September, via Kate Sutherland at Osgoode Hall's law.arts.culture.

From the CFP: "The theme for next year’s Critical Legal Conference is “Gardens of Justice”. Although the theme may be interpreted in different ways, it suggests thinking about law and justice as a physical as well as a social environment, created for specific purposes, at a certain distance from society and yet as an integral part of it. The theme also invites you to think about justice as a concrete metaphor rather than an abstract concept. Just like any ordinary garden, legal institutions affect both people working in them and people who are just passing through their arrangements."
