This book explores how legal rules are invoked, referred to, interpreted, put forward, or blurred, and how legal practitioners and lay participants conceive and participate in the construction of facts and rules. It provides the outlines of a praxiological anthropology of law, which focuses on words, concepts, and reasoning as actively used to solve conflicts with the help of legal rules.

Understanding legal rules not as determinants of behavior but as points of reference for conduct, this volume explores the various ways in which rules are invoked, referred to, interpreted, proposed, or blurred. It also examines how legal practitioners and lay participants conceive of and participate in the construction of facts and rules, thereby actively contributing to the life of laws through decisions, defenses, pleas, files, evidence, interviews, and documents. With a focus on the formulation of notions such as person, evidence, intention, cause, and responsibility in the course of legal practices, Legal Rules in Practice offers the outlines of a praxiological anthropology of law—an anthropology that emphasizes the active use of words, concepts, and reasoning to solve conflicts with the help of legal rules. As such, this book will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists, and scholars of law with interests in ethnomethodology, rule-based conduct, and practical reasoning.
