 umé\n\n(En anglais seulement) Between 1866 and 1931\, over 250 women in Ch
 icago killed their partners\, but all-male coroner’s juries\, grand juries
  and petit juries exonerated most women under a 'new unwritten law'. Maria
 nne Constable unearths the stories of some of these women\, and explores t
 he various possible meanings of this new unwritten law\, among them self-d
 efense\, temporary insanity\, and battered woman syndrome. Her research in
 vestigates the ways in which history and law privilege writing as sources\
 , evidence and authority\, and it analyzes the turn-of-the-century emergen
 ce of an account of law based on social\, statistical\, and psychological 
 knowledge.  As a contribution to legal philosophy\, the project shows how 
 claims about a new unwritten law marked a period in which imperfect and in
 complete understandings of law came to be articulated through the formal s
 peech acts that are now often taken - mistakenly - to be wholly determinat
 ive of law.\n\nLa conférencière\n\n(En anglais seulement)  Marianne Consta
 ble is Professor of Rhetoric at the University of California\, Berkeley an
