Legal Reimaginations – Notes from the North on engaging with Indigenous Legal Orders

Abstract

James Boyd White’s The Legal Imagination sits within reaching distance on my bookshelf. It is the original 1973 yellow hardcover version. The spine is a bit ripped, the binding loose in places, there are scribbles in the margins, and post-it notes are liberally scattered throughout the book. Some pages (oh, the horror!) even bear witness to an inappropriately close encounter with a coffee cup. It has the look of a book that has spent time in the hands of a student. And that is exactly what it is.
