geography of law  

Definition

  • Work on the geography of law focuses on the relationships of law and legal questions to the study of spatial phenomena. Initially developed by a community of scholars working across their respective disciplines, it took shape as a subdiscipline in its own right in the 1990s, usually referred to as legal geography, with a modest if growing presence in English language geography.
