Constitutional Law as Fiction: Narrative in the Rhetoric of Authority
Lewis H. LaRue
This text argues that the written opinion that explains a judgment is much like fiction, in the sense of it being a constructed meaning. Using several Supreme Court cases the author examines rhetorical techniques and contends that judges must not abandon their "fictions" but strive to improve them.
