Beskrivning

Nobody’s Law shows how people – who are disappointed, disenchanted, and outraged about the justice system – gradually move away from law. While previous studies emphasize the law’s hegemony and argue that it’s ‘all over’, Hertogh shows that legal proliferation makes it harder for people to know, and subsequently identify with, the law.

Recensioner i media

“The book offers a convincing critique of existing legal-consciousness literature’s overestimation of the importance of law. … the book provides an important basis and an inspiration to move this project forward from critique to a grounded theory.” (Nienke Doornbos, International Journal of Law in Context, February 6, 2020)“This is an important and very fertile line of enquiry for sociolegal scholars, particularly in the current era. … Hertogh makes an important contribution to legal consciousness research and offers a really helpful set of ideas for taking the research forward … .” (Simon Halliday, Social & Legal Studies, Vol. 28 (6), 2019)“‘Nobody’s Law’ contains an array of provocative and interesting ideas. ... I suggest the book offers much that could be useful for future research on legal consciousness and legal alienation.” (Emily Rose, Journal of Law and Society, November 6, 2019)“Marc Hertogh’s recent book Nobody’s Law makes a valuable contribution to socio-legal studies of administrative justice. The clear, well-written text published in the Palgrave MacMillan Pivot Series … . In all, this is a great read and undoubtedly a refreshing step forward for the field. It retains many of the initial concerns of legal consciousness and administrative justice studies but manages to say something distinctly new.” (Zach Richards, UKAJI, ukaji.org, October, 2018)
