ABSTRACT
In this chapter I approach the contemporary debate on post-truth by juxtaposing it with the idea of “artificial” or “conventional” truth typical of legal discourse. In order to do so, I analyze some recent cases of clashes between “political” truth and “legal” truth and I invite to consider the centrality of the procedures of truth making – crucial for lawyers and legal practice – in order to underline the importance played by technology in the construction of truth also in public discourse.
