This Special Issue aims to (re)tune the eardrums to the acoustics of law, emphasising the importance of listening and an awareness of the soundscapes of law and legal institutions to our understandings of justice. We are seeking papers addressing a range of legal issues, including Indigenous audibility, judicial decision-making, courtroom testimony, diversely-abled witnesses and participants, and histories of sound in law. The juridical soundscapes offered in this Special Issue will highlight the demand for better, more responsible listening and may call for more extensive training to be provided to legal participants \u2013 judges, lawyers, social workers, etc. \u2013 such that our ears become open to the various and complex sensory and audio-cultural dimensions of law and justice. The editors welcome submissions in written, visual and audio formats.<\/p>\n<p>We wish to invite scholars with an interest in this broad theme to submit abstracts of around 250 words by <strong>31 October 2019<\/strong>. We will make a provisional selection in early December 2019 and then ask contributors to provide a full draft of their text by <strong>31 March 2020<\/strong>.
