520 |a Professor Milner S. Ball extends an invitation to creativity. His essay offers a provocative new way to think about law. He examines neither specific codes and pronouncements nor traditional theories of jurisprudence. Ball instead takes a radically new tack in directing our attention to the much broader ways in which our society conceptualizes and expresses law. Carefully avoiding the use of definite and indefinite articles with the word "law," he suggests that law possesses a far more powerful essence than simply functional or utilitarian qualities. Within the context of his metaphorical thinking, law becomes an all-pervasive experience which embodies and reflects our experiences and assumptions. If one takes Ball's suggestion seriously, which I do, that metaphors are "a fundamental mode of understanding and experience," then the task in part becomes to expose the substance of such an understanding and experience.
