Studying these trials can provide unique insights into which terrorist offences come before the court and what legal challenges arise from this relatively novel practice. To unpack the complexity of terrorism trials, we adopt an empirical approach to terrorism trials. Based on 3 years of extensive ethnography in Dutch courts, the paper makes two contributions to the socio-legal literature. Methodologically, our ethnography connects traditional empirical methods to artistic tools. As such, we further the current debates in socio-legal studies on courtroom ethnography. Empirically, we present critical insights on the interaction between pre-emptive speculative security measures and legal procedures in the prosecution of terrorist activities.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/09646639241280363 Courtroom ethnography, Terrorism, Art, Positionality, Affective politics. 56756 Social and Legal Studies AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 406746 IIPA IIPA 2025-09-15 34(4), Aug, 2025: p.558-579 AR137229 2025-09-15 AR
