Abstract

Legal research that highlights context to emphasize circumstances in which decisions occur is important for the legal academy as it reveals the realities in which law operates. This is particularly true for property law which, as the work of Bruce Ziff shows, the perspective of stories, people, and geographies are essential to understanding. In his investigation of seminal property case law, Ziff does not simply discuss legal rules, rather, Ziff explores the real life features of each case. Ziff provides a micro perspective on cases, which also capturing broader information that provides a macro outlook on how legal argument is created. Through this work it becomes clear that context matters.
