The Feminist Judgments Project: Legal Fiction as Critique and Praxis

Abstract

This note introduces the United Kingdom's Feminist Judgments Project and explains its method of (re)writing imagined legal judgments from a feminist perspective. It identifies the ways in which project participants put feminist concerns, feminist theory and feminist methods into legal practice, and considers the value as well as the limitations of this new form of feminist critique and praxis. It concludes by outlining some of the wider impacts and implications of the project.
