It is a process that has
involved various levels
of human invention, expressing itself mainly in the development
of technology and various other
fields of human knowledge and
endeavor, and I should add emphatically the various stages
of human hubris that has expressed itself in the oppression and conquest
of peoples by other peoples.
Scholars in these
fields have brought theories
of language, narrative, and storytelling to bear on very practical issues
involved in representing clients — and in this
endeavor they have found common ground with many other law professors with a broad variety
of legal specialties.30 Again, even a cursory review
of this vast literature is beyond my scope here, but it is important to note the very promising way that interdisciplinary work has already been providing a quite practical link between theory and practice.
