Cases are, first of all, made within compound discourse apparatus, here the English Crown Court and the procedure/s attached to it. This book reveals the legal production of cases including their relevant features. The socio-legal ethnography visits the natural sites of adversarial case-making: law firms, barristers? chambers, and Crown Courts. It examines the role and dynamics of client-lawyer meetings, pre-trial hearings, plea bargaining sessions, and jury trials. It focuses on the lawyers? case-making activities, their procedural contexts, and the resulting cases. As an ethnographic discourse study, the book develops a trans-sequential perspective on the interrelated events and processes of case-making ? and by doing so, overcomes the shortcomings of talk-bias and text-bias. The trans-sequential approach pays out in detailed case studies on an alibi, on guilt, or the barrister?s notes; it pays out as well in cross-case studies dealing with legal care, procedural infrastructure, or the case system in the common law tradition. 410 0$aInternational studies in sociology and social anthropology. 606 $aCriminal courts$xSocial aspects$zEngland 606 $aCriminal procedure$xSocial aspects$zEngland 615 0$aCriminal courts$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCriminal procedure$xSocial aspects 676 $a347.42/05 700 $aScheffer$b Thomas$0614835 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785141103321 996 $aAdversarial case-making$93694476 997 $aUNINA
