Through their narrative choices, Henderson argues, judges create a normative universe – the world of right and wrong within which they make their judgements – and fashion their own judicial self-images. Drawing on the work of the law and literature movement, \u003cem\u003eCreating Legal Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e is a convincing argument for paying close attention to the role of story and style in the creation of judicial decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140262543600,"sku":"9781442624511","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442624511_p0.jpg?v=1763809630","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442624511","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
