In Law and the Visual, leading legal theorists, art historians, and critics come together to present new work examining the intersection between legal and visual discourses.

Desmond Manderson is a professor in the ANU College of Law and College of Arts & Social Sciences at the Australian National University. He is founding Director of its Centre for Law, Arts, and the Humanities.

"In seeking to address the various themes within the emerging body of scholarship on law and visual studies, Desmond Manderson brings together cutting-edge scholarship from both established and up-and-coming scholars."

Austin Sarat, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Science, Amherst College:

"Desmond Manderson’s Law and the Visual marks a significant development in visual studies of law. Manderson moves readers across centuries, cultural contexts, and visual media. There is nothing like this book!"
