'A collection of fascinating studies of not only what the law is, but, more so, what the law looks like. Medical metaphors relating to political systems, Chinese characters and legal tradition, lawyers' dress code, digitally-produced evidence, racial discrimination in France, and the presentation of the family in Irish law are just some of the images discussed in the book.' Dennis Kurzon, University of Haifa, Israel 'This edited book is comprehensive, accessible, and insightful. The editors have assembled and organized a first-rate anthology which surely will be both source material as well as an exceptionally accessible introduction to the study of law by the use of semiotics. The well-versed scholar as well as the uninitiated in the semiotics of law will find it tremendously useful in gaining or extending his/her understanding in this discipline. This book will be a mainstay for some time to come.' Dr Dragan Milovanovic, Professor, Northeastern Illinois University, USA 'This collection could profitably be drawn across a range of disciplines and at both under- and postgraduate levels. It sets up a range of spaces for discussion and I hope that there are additional volumes that maintain its eclectic approach to a fascinating area.' International Journal for the Semiotics of Law
