N2  - Legal Maxims  is a work consisting of a pair of legal phrases created in white neon. The phrases, ?WRONG IN ITSELF? and ?NOBODY?S THING?, are legal maxims ? an ancient and basic form of establishing logic or ideal within the legal field ? which operate as a kind of rhetorical shorthand, intended to assist judges in deciding the outcome of cases. Contrary to the precision considered so fundamental to law, and selected by the artist for their philosophical suggestiveness, they seem inherently ambiguous and suggestive of slippages at the core of legal thinking.
