Reappraises - and reinstates - the jurisprudence of Judge Schreber, looking beyond mental health to their distinguished contribution to legal theory
  • The first legal analysis of the Memoirs of Judge Schreber
  • An exemplary case study of the intersection of psychoanalysis and jurisprudence
  • A novel account of the pathology in law and the originality of a highly symptomatic juridical theology
  • Reinstates and emplaces Schreber's jurisprudence in a modern context of legal philosophy

Daniel Paul Schreber (1842-1911) was a senior German judge and jurist who formulated a unique juridical theology of private life and developed a critical account of oikonomia, the practice of governance and administration. But their theoretical work was largely ignored due to their mental illness and desire to be a woman in a time inhospitable to transitions. Now, Schreber's Law looks beyond Judge Schreber's mental health to reappraise their distinguished contribution to legal theory.
