Preventive Human Genome Editing and Enhancement
While somatic cell editing to treat disease is widely accepted, the use of human genome editing for “enhancement” remains contested. Scientists and policy‐makers routinely cite the prospect of enhancement as a salient ethical challenge for human genome editing research. If preventive genome editing projects are perceived as pursuing human enhancement, they could face heightened barriers to scientific, public, and regulatory approval. This article…
Human heritable genome editing and its governance
Heritable human genome editing has garnered significant attention in scholarly and lay media, yet questions remain about whether, when, and how heritable genome editing ought to proceed. Drawing on interviews with scientists who use genome editing in their research and professionals engaged in human genome editing governance efforts, we examine their views on the permissibility of heritable genome editing and the governance strategies they see as…

Indicators, Politics of
Anthropologists define indicators broadly, as statistical measures that consolidate and represent complex data. Indicators are not synonymous with quantification but are a fundamental component of quantification, which is in turn a critical component of the much‐discussed “audit culture.” Anthropologists have focused on indicators as a political technology and on the uses of that technology by agents of governance, control, advocacy, and reform. …
Global Banks as Global Sustainability Regulators?
Banks might now seem odd candidates for the role of global sustainability regulator. Nonetheless, in limited areas of their operation, where global banks kept risk on their balance sheets and were financially exposed to many types of risk often otherwise treated as "externalities," banks began to enact policies to encourage what they construe as "sustainable" banking. A small number of these banks have started to extend these principles of respon…

Can You Talk Like a Lawyer and Still Think Like a Human Being? Mertz's The Language of Law School
The last thirty years in anthropology, as well as in linguistics and in many of the other social sciences, have been characterized by a shift in theoretical focus from structure to practice. In The Language of Law School: Learning to “Think Like a Lawyer” (2007), linguistic anthropologist and law professor Elizabeth Mertz has brought this practice perspective to bear on the extraordinary linguistic and cultural venue that is the first‐year law sc…

Tales of Diversity
This article reports on what an interview study of the legal profession has revealed about diversity in private law firms. The study can be fairly described as an accidental research project—more specifically, a professional responsibility course that turned into an empirical study of the legal profession. After ten years of teaching this course, I have accumulated, almost as a byproduct, a significant corpus of qualitative data about lawyers’ li…
Fall from Grace or Business as Usual? A Retrospective Look at Lawyers on Wall Street and Main Street
This review essay asks: What do we know about law firms? In reviewing over 40 years of empirical research, we find that life as an attorney has changed. Big firm life, once genteel, lucrative, and leisurely (at least for those who could get past the discriminatory entry barriers), is now more competitive. Today, clients tend to treat legal services like any other input, demanding that lawyers justify their bills and compete for the business. To r…

Just Words
In Just Words, John M. Conley and William M. O'Barr tackle the question of how an abstract entity exerts concrete power, focusing on what has become the central issue in law and language research: what language reveals about the nature of legal power. Each chapter covers a language-based approach to a different area of the law, from the cross-examinations of victims and witnesses to the inequities of divorce mediation. In this new edition, Conley…
Crime and Custom in Corporate Society
We draw our title from Crime and Custom in Savage Society, Bronislaw Malinowski's 1926 study of law, deviance, and social control in the Trobriand Islands of the southwest Pacific.1 Malinowski, an Englishman born of Polish parents, was one of the inventors of modern ethnography, the anthropological practice of living among the people to be studied, participating in their culture, and trying to see the world though their eyes. (As with so many oth…

Rules Versus Relationships
In Rules versus Relationships, John M. Conley and William M. O'Barr examine the experiences of litigants seeking redress of everyday difficulties through the small claims courts of the American legal system. The authors find two major and contrasting ways in which litigants formulate and express their problems in terms of specific rule violations and seek concrete legal remedies that would mend soured relationships and respond to their personal a…

Litigant Satisfaction Versus Legal Adequacy in Small Claims Court Narratives
This article examines litigant narratives in small claims courts from two perspectives: the degree to which relaxed procedures and evidentiary constraints provide greater satisfaction to litigants than more formal courts, and the problems litigants encounter in providing legally adequate accounts without the assistance of attorneys. Data for this study are 55 trials in two states (North Carolina and Colorado). The findings show that narratives in…
Lay Expectations of the Civil Justice System
In this paper we present results from a study of small claims litigants' expectations about the civil justice system. Interviews with plaintiffs at the time they file their cases reveal that many people come to court with profound misunderstandings about the authority of civil courts as well as the procedural and evidentiary burdens that the civil justice system imposes. These findings, based on the empirical investigation of litigants' beliefs a…
