Adversarial Case-Making by Thomas Scheffer

Adversarial Case-Making by Thomas Scheffer

This book explores the working of law and lawyers down to their very details and minituae.

The book will prove eye-opening for those considering entering the legal profession, either as solicitor or barrister[...] Adversarial Case-Making's ethnographic and micro-sociological methods provide insights that cannot be achieved other than through years of fieldwork and the filing, coding and categorizing of mountains of ethnographic data, such as files, documents, meeting notes, transcripts and archive material. - Lisa Vanhala, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer in Human Rights, in: Law & Politics Book Review, 2011, pp. 693-695
