Description The paper ventures into the common characteristics of the Law and Theatre. The aim of the author is to show how a court session employs and makes use of the principles of theatricality, and to defend the hypothesis that a criminal court trial, in particular, bears manifold similarities to a ritual. Thus, a criminal court session can be explored by similar methodologic tools as the latter, which understand theatre in broader, socio-anthropologic sense as a cultural model.
