| 520 | |a Courtrooms are sites where both the mundane and the life-changing are deliberated, evaluated and decided upon. Child custody battles, traffic violations, asylum appeals, contractual disputes, war crimes, climate actions, murder, defamation, even pigeon-related damage claims, all are handled in courtrooms. The courthouse can be understood as an arena and symbol of justice and democracy yet concomitantly perceived as a site where power is exercised over culturally and economically disadvantaged groups. It is clear that the courtroom is the center of societal, national and global conflict resolution. It is therefore paramount to understand questions of how the law shapes, renders, undermines and uplifts justice within society? What do we learn by observing the settings where the law is put into action? Which individuals, themes and prompts are most prominent within legal settings, and which remain absent? And which jurisdictional settings and sites are most prevalent to investigate this nexus? Following through these questions and obstacles, this introductory chapter sets the stage for our book “Courthouse Ethnography: Exploring contemporary approaches, fieldwork and challenges”. As such, it provides a wide overview of the field of ethnography and the law, by combining long-standing traditions of scholarly work in social-legal sciences investigating and researching legal practices in the courthouse and more recent examples of how this can be done and what might be still challenging, needs better tools or more ethical considerations, when researching the court and its legal cases. | ||
