Boundary-spanning agency is important for weaving together different ways of doing and knowing. This article examines boundary-spanning agency in the context of courtroom contestation of veterinary expertise. Analysing Finnish supreme administrative court judgments, we highlight how knowledge claims about animal welfare and about the process of supervisory inspections are deployed and contested by both veterinarians and animal owners in a bid to …
Clinical practice guidelines in courts' representation of medical evidence and testimony
This article examines clinical practice guidelines (CPG) in the courtroom.

The case-type features a medical controversy concerning traumatic brain injury (TBI) diagnostics. I contend that the difficu…
