THE SOCIETY OF LAWS AND LITERATURE, NLUO is seeking articles through the call for articles.
ABOUT
The Society of Law and Literature, as the name implies, focuses not only on legal and literary writings but also encompasses extracurricular activities such as street play, theatre, film review, and so on. It is well known that when deciding individual cases, judges prefer to engage in semantic jugglery to relate better to the various facets of a social structure that get reflected in a judgment. Literature teaches interpretation skills and opens the door to new perspectives. Since the emergence of law, jurists have relied on the versatility and liveliness of literature to annex definitions to legal norms, fill the gaps of legal missteps, or convert complex legalese to layman’s language.
