The book makes conceptual, methodological and theoretical contributions to ethnomethodological thinking and the ethnomethodological study of military practice and law- in- action. Conceptually, the book introduces a novel research design for opening up the practical relation of law and war: It examines legal development in the interrelated work practices of the military and the judiciary – with the latter taking up the former as its object of inquiry.
Using data from the military operation as well as data from the civil lawsuit that followed, the study looks at law as an inherent but differently relevant and accountable part of these two very distinct professional fields of practice.
Exploring the legality of the airstrike as a methodic achievement, an achievement resulting from the analysis conducted by the parties involved in military and legal work settings, the book seeks to readdress the practical relevance of the prescribed distinction between civilians and combatants – both during and after the military operation.
