Space, Time, Justice - From Archaic Rituals to Contemporary Perspectives

There are as central themes: the idea of transgression as the starting point¿of the question of justice and its archaic anchor; the relation between spaces of justice and ritual(s); the question of use and abuse of transparency in contemporary courts; and the abolition of the judicial walls with the use of cameras in courts. It offers a comparative approach, looking at spaces of justice in both the civil and common law traditions.
