"In this original and thought-provoking study of Choson Korea’s legal practices, Jisoo M. Kim offers a multilayered analysis of petitions submitted by women of both elite and non-elite status throughout the dynasty. . . . The Emotions of Justice will be a crucial text when teaching this period in Korean history and should attract a wide interest also from scholars of cognate disciplines."

-- Anders Karlsson * Journal of Asian Studies *

"[R]edefines the boundaries of law, emotions, and gender in premodern Korea by investigating historic legal documents. This thought-provoking work not only enlightens the reader with regard to the legal system during the Chosŏn era (1392–1910) but also elucidates how various legal subjects constituted their subjectivity in oral and textual space."
