ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the appeals of parking tickets at a local women's college in the Northeast. Through intentionally chosen language, these appeals are crafted texts of folk legality. Folk legality is a local relationship to law that embraces everyday interactions with the law, such as those characterized by writing an appeal for a parking ticket. Robert Cover tells it is precisely embedding of an understanding of political text in institutional modes of action that distinguishes legal interpretation from the interpretation of literature, political philosophy, and constitutional criticism. The plotting of the research on Geographic Imaging Systems (GIS) gives keen insight into the geographic dimensions of the elements, which illustrates the appeal to be a semiotic of great jurisprudential importance. Parking tickets and their appeals can be crafted emblems of law. Parking ticket appeals invite a look at how law works and its available recourse for resistance and challenge. The laws of parking are personalized with the hope through entitled language.
