Reviews

From the reviews:“This fascinating book makes a significant contribution to an understanding of legal semiotics through its diverse collection of essays that approach the field from both a theoretical and practical perspective. The book’s attempt to synthesize historical, contemporary and future ideas on legal semiotics will be of particular interest to scholars in law and the social sciences.” (Letetia van der Poll, International Journal for the Semiotics of Law, Vol. 25, 2012)
