A disordered novella that brings insight into the practice and language of the law through legal documents, it superbly explores the role of language as a vessel for truth and an implement of justice. 606 $aNew Zealand poetry 615 0$aNew Zealand poetry. 676 $a100 700 $aAdams$b John$0287392 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816766703321 996 $aBriefcase$94068539 997 $aUNINA
