Reviewing "Aesthetics of Law and Literature: An Anatomy of the Legal Imagination" by JA Julia Shaw. The author examines how lawyers and judges and by implication the state use language, literary and rhetorical devices in so called "dry" legal language, as a powerful tool of control. Under the veil of Reason and Objectivity, the language of a law is in fact rich with aesthetic content and manipulation. Legal language can make the unreal the real, the immoral moral, and vice versa and make even the most draconian law seem caring and compassionate. With this in mind, we will look at how the language of "Medical Assistance in Dying" (MAID) legislation in Canada can tell a completely different story by tweaking the language a "little".
