Meanings

1. A notional landscape of law; legal systems understood in spatial terms.
   • Lawscapes often slide next to each other and generate each other through folded withdrawal. Reorienting the lawscape in relation to other lawscapes is part of the political potential of the lawscape. 2014, Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, Spatial Justice: Body, Lawscape, Atmosphere, page 84:
   • In effect, what we see in a landscape is not a detached and separated physical realm, 'the land', but ourselves, our practices and our law – a lawscape. 2010, Nicole Graham, Lawscape: Property, Environment, Law, page 5:
