Abstract
Chapter 1 addresses members’ orientations to the temporal dimension of law. In order to do this, the chapter begins by examining the notion of practical grammar as it can be described in the context of law. Second, it analyzes the unfolding of this grammar beyond situations of co-presence, and the ways in which members sequentially weave the law. Third, it specifically addresses the role that time and history can play in such an approach. At each stage the authors present extracts of parliamentary debates, court decisions, and acts of procedure relating to family law in Egypt. Among other things, the chapter demonstrates how a network of legal and judicial bodies and the historicity of their actions are endogenously objectivized by those involved in such particular courses of action.
