<p>A legal judgment is first and foremost a story, a narrative of facts about the parties to the case.<em>Creating Legal Worlds</em> is a study of how that narrative operates, and how rhetoric, story, and style function as integral elements of any legal argument.</p><p>Through careful analyses of notable cases from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Greig Henderson analyses how the rhetoric of storytelling often carries as much argumentative weight within a judgement as the logic of legal distinctions. 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,<em>Creating Legal Worlds</em> is a convincing argument for paying close attention to the role of story and style in the creation of judicial decisions.</p>
