- Abstract
Trabsky's sense of responsibility to the practical and formal dimensions of the office of the coroner enables Trabsky to explore the materiality of the institutional life of law. Law and the Dead: Technology, Relations and Institutions By Trabsky, Marc. Trabsky notes the coroner is pivotal to the cultivation of legal relations with the dead throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and shows how over that time coroners have made a tremendous, collective effort to represent their office as an indispensable modern legal institution, rather than a minor office.
