法律地理学研究人、地和法律的共构关系。本文概述了法律和地理跨学科项目是如何在相互好奇的背景下出现的，并探讨了法律实践是如何通过对空间性的关注（有时是对空间性的明显忽视），在其所有自由裁量和规则约束的多样性中共同产生场所的。本文指出，在这个主要的关键领域中，对城市治理中权力和不平等的研究具有重要的形成意义。然而，它也考虑了跨学科如何越来越多地从文化、物质和后人类地理学中接受法律地理学术。采用“空间侦探”的隐喻，本文将法律地理学定位为一种检查法律在空间中的物质化的方式，考虑到该领域的方法，核心概念和它们可能发展的潜在方向。
Legal geography investigates the co-constitutive relationship of people, place and law. This essay provides an overview of how the law and geography cross-disciplinary project emerged from a context of mutual curiosity and explores how legal practice, in all its discretionary and rule-bound variety, co-produces places through an attentiveness to, and sometimes an apparent dismissal of, spatiality. The essay notes the formative importance of studies on power and inequality within urban governance in this predominantly critical field. However, it also considers how the cross-discipline is increasingly embracing legal geographic scholarship from within cultural, material and post-human geographies. Adopting the metaphor of the 'spatial detective', the essay situates legal geography as a way of examining law's materialisation within space, considering the field's methods, core concepts and the potential directions in which they may evolve.
