Tóm tắt

The significance of narrative as the primary form of human communication forms the basis of this paper. Following a brief consideration of the natural inter-relationship between law and narrative, the author goes on to discuss the more specific application of a narrative approach to legal scholarship and legal education. The paper sets out the findings of a practical research project that took as its inspiration James Boyd White's portrayal of the law student as a creative and imaginative thinker, and Martha Nussbaum's claim that it is through the power of 'narrative imagination' that we gain a broader appreciation and understanding of humanity. It explains how a group of law students participated in 'the Narrative Research Project' at the University of Leicester; participating in story-telling seminars and creating their own fictional narratives from appellate case reports. It describes the students' reaction to the project as heartening in the sense that they became more aware of the significant role that human actors play in legal proceedings, but it also expresses doubts over the extent to which such an approach can, by itself, cultivate humanity in the law school. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
