4. (Re)possessing the Ownership of “Justice” from Formal Legality and the Rule of Law: Undoing a Betrayal of Innocence through Stabilized Abstract Spaces. Tempura Mutantur, nos et Mutamur in Illis?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Rättssociologiska institutionenAbstract : Are we as a society (global, national or local) incomplete if we do not adhere to the substantial truths to be gained by alignment with the western democratic notion of the rule of law?
