Summary

This chapter explores framing as a concept that might enrich our understanding of epistemic governance and the politics of legal expertise. Section II offers a brief snapshot of framing’s invocation in a range of disciplinary fields. Section III interrogates how legal experts deploy framing to influence policy choice in the advisory process. Section IV discusses issues of frame contestation and change, drawing on convention theory, developed by the French sociologist Luc Boltanski. Section V concludes with a brief reflection on the future of framing.
