Abstract

As a most stimulating example, we quote here from the prize-winning article of Michelle Wirth JD some considerations related to the above steps. The article applies semiotics to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court case Ferguson v. McKiernan to reveal the shift in social context that made the lines of legal reasoning behind the outcome appear 'self-evident" for lawyers and the public.
