Between 1985 and 1996 Bernard Jackson published four books
which, between them, represent the most comprehensive attempt to apply Greimassian
semiotics to law and legal theory. Semiotics
and Legal Theory provided an exposition of Greimassian semiotics
and its classic application to a French legislative text by Greimas and
Landowski, and compared the (often unstated) semiotic presuppositions of
Kelsen, Hart, Dworkin and MacCormick; Law,
Fact and Narrative Coherence
developed the notion of the narrativisation of pragmatics and explored its
application to both fact and law construction. Making
Sense in Law took a wider approach to the processes of the criminal
trial, exploring linguistic and psychological issues within a semiotic framework;
Making Sense in Jurisprudence provided
a review of all the main trends in jurisprudence (naturalist, positivist,
realist, critique) from a semiotic perspective.
These four volumes are now available as a
hardbound set for the special price of £65.00 (total cost sold individually:
£130.50).
