Narratives of Disobedience: Breaking/Changing the Law.
Phelps, Teresa Godwin
Journal of Legal Education, v40 n1-2 p133-43 Mar-Jun 1990
Narratives instruct people in their relationship with the law, as illustrated in the classical story, "Antigone," and in the modern novel, "The Cider House Rules." Legal stories are the "sacred narratives" passed on to law students so they can become initiated into the legal system and discover their places in it. (MSE)
