Book Description
"Lon Fuller's mythical hypothetical, about five cave explorers who become trapped after a landslide and ultimately kill and eat one of their own in order to survive long enough to be rescued, is the speluncean case to which this book's title refers. Fuller gives the reader five fictional judgments from the Supreme Court of a place called Newgarth. He sets the action and judgments far in the future in the year 4300 AD. Each judgment adopts a different perspective on the proper approach to statutory interpretation and on what it is and is not legitimate for judges to do in a democracy...This book is prompted by Fuller's famous article. It gathers together the very best articles which that speluncean case hypothetical, written half a century ago, has inspired." -- from the Introduction, p. ix-x.

Fuller's famous legal case of The Case of the Speluncean Explorers and Peter Suber's The Case of the Speluncean Explorers: Nine New Opinions through the application of literary theories of meaning, interpretation, writing and truth, in particular Jacques Derrida's Dissemination and Friedrich Nietzsche's "On Truth and Lying in a Non-Moral Sense," to analyze the legal and jurisprudential problems in the fictional legal cases and to trace the literary qualities of law that it has consciously renounced and unconsciously forgotten. Introducing what Peter Goodrich calls "interruption of law" (Courts of Love 5) to the reading and analysis of the two legal fictions, this dissertation reveals the way that law upholds its authority and legitimacy through language, presents alternative perspectives of understanding the nature and problems of law, illustrates the relationship of "law as literature," and discusses the utility and significance of legal fictions and stories to the understanding of law and to the illustration of the relationship between law and literature.

Book Description
"How to inform the judicial mind," Justice Frankfurter remarked during the school desegregation cases, "is one of the most complicated problems." Social research is a potential source of such information. Indeed, in the 1960s and 1970s, with activist courts at the forefront of social reform, the field of law and social science came of age. But for all the recent activity and scholarship in this area, few books have attempted to create an intellectual framework, a systematic introduction to applied social-legal research. Social Research in the Judicial Process addresses this need for a broader picture. Designed for use by both law students and social science students, it constructs a conceptual bridge between social research (the realm of social facts) and judicial decision making (the realm of social values). Its unique casebook format weaves together judicial opinions, empirical studies, and original text. It is a process-oriented book that teaches skills and perspectives, cultivating an informed sensitivity to the use and misuse of psychology, social psychology, and sociology in apellate and trial adjudication. Among the social-legal topics explored are school desegregation, capital punishment, jury impartiality, and eyewitness identification. This casebook is remarkable for its scope, its accessibility, and the intelligence of its conceptual integration. It provides the kind of interdisciplinary teaching framework that should eventually help lawyers to make knowledgeable use of social research, and social scientists to conduct useful research within a legally sophisticated context.
