“…Examining the politics in law, I want to suggest, opens up new spaces for possible contestation within existing regimes of power. Thus, it makes visible the everyday manifestations and contestations of power in relation to law and space (Braverman et al., 2014; Cuomo & Brickell, 2019).…”

“…In what follows, I offer my own account of feminist legal collaboration through which I, together with migrants, legal practitioners, and activists, excavated Danish immigration law and sought to challenge existing ways of doing legal advocacy. While this paper has its limits in terms of who and what is represented, it is an attempt to inspire other (legal) geographers to engage in collaborations as one way of “‘doing’ feminist legal geographic work” (Cuomo & Brickell, 2019, p. 1044).…”

“…Together this literature offers important insights, tools, and theories of collaboration as a research methodology, support strategy, and This article is an invitation to other researchers to acknowledge who we collaborate with to make our research possible and to engage in creative collaborations as a way to trouble and reconstruct political relations, values, and legal practices. Thus, it contributes to the emerging work on methodologies in legal geographies (Braverman, 2014;Cuomo & Brickell, 2019;Gorman, 2019).…”

In this article, I examine how collaboration can yield new insights into inquires of legal geography and transform the ways that legal work is carried out. Drawing on feminist methodologies, I put forward feminist legal collaboration -a method and praxis -through which legal geographers can address the everyday manifestations and contestations of power in relation to law and space, while at the same time build alliances with people whose (legal) rights are currently contested. I reflect on my experiences of doing everyday collaborative work with legal practitioners, activists, and forced migrants at community centers in Denmark. Through two empirical examples of legal collaboration, I show how collaboration offers insights into migration law and legal procedures that are impossible to gain from just reading the law. The process of collaborating can teach us about the politics in law and reveal political possibilities within these socio-legal spaces. We might think of feminist legal collaboration as a method and praxis that takes place through direct engagement with the law and legal practices in order to co-produce knowledge and radically reconfigure existing approaches to legal counseling. The feminist legal collaborative approach, which I put forward here, is not limited to research on the legal geographies of (forced) migration. Rather, I imagine that feminist legal collaboration can

“…As the field of legal geographies continues to grow (Bennett & Layard, 2015; Braverman et al., 2014; Delaney, 2017; Jeffrey, 2019), including an emerging body of feminist legal geographic scholarship (Brickell & Cuomo, 2019; Cuomo & Brickell, 2019), there has been an accompanying interest in the methodologies that legal geographers utilise (Braverman, 2014; Gorman, 2019). Distinct from methods, or the techniques for collecting data, methodology concerns how the research is done and is often informed by a scholar’s epistemological approach to knowledge building (Harding, 1987).…”

In this paper, I reflect on my experiences conducting legal geographic research within a Central Pennsylvania courtroom. This research builds on my former professional experience as a legal advocate where I worked for five years providing advocacy services to over 800 survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I discuss how I incorporated two common advocacy practices – accompaniment and institutional advocacy – into my research praxis as a means to fulfil my commitment to conduct activist research as a feminist legal geographer. I argue that the advocacy skills I learned outside of academia helped me navigate the tensions of studying power with legal actors in the privileged space of the courtroom. This paper contributes to recent interest in the methodological practices that legal geographers utilise within courtroom spaces, while also encouraging legal geographers to consider what knowledge and skills – beyond academic methodologies and methods – might serve to support activist research within spaces of power.

“…The presence or absence of evidence is not simply a consequence of admissibility rules. Recent scholarship in legal geography and elsewhere has involved a methodological turn towards an empirical engagement with the unfolding of legal procedures as material and embodied enterprises (Cuomo and Brickell, 2019;Gill and Good, 2019;Jeffrey 2020b). This diverse body of work, influenced variously by the postmodern sociology of de Sousa Santos (1987), the materialist and ethnographic perspective offered by Latour (2010) or Butler's (2011) approach to performativity, seeks to foreground the ways in which attention to the actual unfolding of legal processes illuminates hitherto overlooked barriers to the fulfilment of justice.…”

This report explores scholarship at the interface of geography and law engaging with the concept of evidence. As with the first two reports, this is not a summary of a predefined field, but rather a consideration of how ideas of what constitutes evidence have been differentially understood across geographical and cognate studies. The discussion spans work that has considered the formal barriers to the production of evidence at trials, the politics of silencing certain evidential practices and interpretive questions relating to claims of expertise.
