5. Framing the law
•The language and technical
nature of the judiciary
•Appellate law as arbitrator/
problem-solver
•Jurisdiction and scale as
performing ‘order’

How do decisions at the border
demonstrate and (re)produce
the legal conceptions of
borders?
7. The Charter as a ‘frame’
• Reading border disputes as
rights claims demands
identifying the architecture of

• Seeing the mechanics of
rights means we see the right
impinged/violated as well as
that which is bracketed off or
out.
