摘要

长期以来，美国法律一直对其自身的陈述表现出偏好。本文将在法律研究工具的背景下探讨这些审美偏好。本文将网格美学、能量美学、透视美学和解离美学这四种美国法律美学运用到传统的法律研究工具中，这四种美学主要反映了网格美学。然后，本文对Lexis+中一个新的法律研究工具——能量美学的典范——Ravel View进行了概念性评价。这一分析探讨了法律呈现的假设，以及如何弥合法律研究中的视觉语言鸿沟。

The Aesthetics of Legal Research

Abstract American law has long expressed preferences regarding its own presentation. This article explores those aesthetic preferences in the context of legal research tools. This article applies four aesthetics that appear across American law—The Grid, Energy, Perspectivist, and Dissociative Aesthetics—to traditional tools of legal research, which predominately reflect the Grid Aesthetic. Then this article engages in a conceptual evaluation of a new legal research tool within Lexis+, Ravel View, which is an exemplar of the Energy Aesthetic. This analysis explores the assumptions built into the presentation of the law and how to bridge the visual language divide in legal research.
