Judicial Uses of Images
A judge steps out of his car in downtown Chicago to take photos of an inflatable rat. Later, he incorporates these images into a ruling about another inflatable rat used in a union protest. The growing use of images in jurisprudence offers a new visual insight into the legal world.
This publication examines an extensive corpus of images from judicial decisions in various common law countries. It analyzes and discusses the normative significance and emotional impact of this new form of legal expression and assessment.
Additionally, the remediation of law is critically approached through the emerging visual criteria and protocols, also known as the paradigm of 'retinal law'.
