The rigidity of law, according to an early founder of the German-language strand of the sociology of law, signals the domination of the dead over the living (Ehrlich 1913: 323).Legally standardized ideals of action and the actual everyday practice of dealing with the law are not necessarily compatible.Such contradictions become visible, for example, in moments in which there is a struggle for interpretative sovereignty over legal claims.Through a practice-oriented lens, law is woven into relationships between persons, but at the same time it is reinterpreted, contested, acted out, or even rejected in these relationships
