Abstract
In this paper we will look into different conceptual frames for the comparative study of courtrooms - interactional and epistemic. Accordingly, we offer two rounds of comparing English Crown Courts and German Landgerichte (translated here as District Courts) - with an emphasis on the last round. We will argue that courts appear in greater diversity once we take into account their roles in processes of knowing. The comparisons are grounded in two ethnographic studies on the micro-formation of criminal cases, conducted in England and in Germany.
