刑事司法系统比人类努力的任何其他领域都更能产生一种文本机器。人们只需要看看传统的律师事务所或图书馆，那里有无数出版的法律报告和一系列法规--既是对权威的视觉要求，也是一种工作参考系统--就可以理解刑事司法系统是建立在自己的档案基础上的。它的权威在于有记录的先例和有记录的法规;以及逮捕、审判和惩罚的可靠记录。这种权威反过来要求一个独特的复杂的保护和发现系统。
More than any other field of human endeavour, the criminal justice system has spawned a textual machine for knowing. One needs to look no further than the traditional law office or library, with its endless series of published law reports and series of statutes – both a visual claim to authority, and a form of working reference system – to understand that the criminal justice system is built on a foundation formed of its own archive. Its authority lies in recorded precedent and recorded statute; and on the secure record of arrest, trial and punishment. This authority in turn demands a uniquely sophisticated system of preservation and discovery.
