This collection of essays aims to introduce the research questions pursued by ethnomethodologists and conversation analysts. Ethnomethodology and conversation analysis offer a distinctive approach towards the study of law and legal institutions, throught their focus on everyday talk and action, and the detailed content of occupational activities. Ethnomethodological ethnographers, in what has become known as the studies-of-work tradition, have studied the "practical reasoning" constituting different varieties of legal work. Conversation analysts, employing a research methodology which is based upon the analysis of audio-recordings of naturally occuring interaction, have examined how the day-to-day business of legal settings is conducted through everyday talk. Both approaches are distinctive in that they offer a re-specification of political and philosophical debates about law, through examining the practical actions which accomplish law as a social phenomenon.

Industry Reviews

'...Stacy Burns' account of the interchange between a law Professor and a group of students would make excellent preparatory reading for law school initiates anxious about the proverbial "hot seat"...Gregory Matosian's detailed exposition of segments of cross-examiniation from Kennedy-Smith rape trail...provides a great lesson for students of trial conduct, not least those who are interested in the plight of rape victims in the witness box.' International Journal of the Sociology of Law '...welcome contribution to the literature, providing a display of the diversity of ethnomethodological possibilities for understanding and respecification of legal activity.' Sociology
