The law had and has recourse to fairy tales in order to speak of the nomos and its subversion, of the politically correct and of the various means that have been used to enforce the law. Fairy tales are a fundamental tool to examine legal procedures and structures in their many failings and errors. Therefore, we have privileged the term "fables" of the law just to stress the ethical perspective: they are moral parables that often speak of justice miscarried and justice sought.Law and jurists are creators of "fables" on the view that law is born out of the facts (ex facto ius oritur) so that there is a need for narrative coherence both on the level of the case and the level of legislation (or turned the other way around: what does it mean if no such coherence is found?). This is especially of interest given the influx of all kinds of new technologies that are "fabulous" in themselves and hard to incorporate in traditional doctrinal schemes and thus in the construction of a new reality. 410 0$aLaw & literature (De Gruyter) ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aLaw and literature 610 $aLaw. 610 $afables. 610 $afairy tales. 610 $aliterature. 615 0$aLaw and literature. 676 $a340 676 $a398.28 702 $aCarpi$b Daniela, 702 $aLeiboff$b Marett, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155412103321 996 $aFables of the Law$92788689 997 $aUNINA
