DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Professor Annelise Riles (Cornell)\, spon
 sored by the Katharine A. Pearson Chair in Civil Society and Public Policy
 .  What does the law contribute to hope? Is there anything hopeful about l
 aw? What can legal studies contribute to the now vigorous debates in econo
 mics\, sociology\, psychology\, philosophy\, literary studies and anthropo
 logy about the nature and sources of hope in personal and social life? Rat
 her than focus on the ends of law (social justice\, economic efficiency\, 
 etc.)\, Riles will focus instead on the means (or techniques of the law). 
 Through a critical engagement with the work of Hans Vaihinger\, Morris Coh
 en and Pierre Schlag on legal fictions and legal technicalities\, she argu
 es that what is “hopeful” about law is its “As-If” quality.  Annelise Rile
 s is Jack G. Clarke Professor of Far East Legal Studies and Professor of A
 nthropology at Cornell University Law School.
