Abstract:

This paper explores what it might mean for hope to be an object of legal scholarship. It raises questions about what to look for and where to look for it, framing the discussion around hopeful legal ends, means, attachments and atmospheres. It finds that the relationship between law and hope can be characterised by multiplicity, and that this invites a wide range of approaches to engaging with hope in and around law.
