Acoustic Jurisprudence

Another postgraduate candidate referred me to the research of James Parker, University of Melbourne, whose PhD is entitled:

Listening to law: Simon Bikindi and the acoustics of justice

In his thesis, Parker is exploring the relationship between law and sound. His is particularly interested in the "sonority of the courtroom" in the context of adjudication, and "the acoustic as a form of both expression and action."
