Abstract

Friendship, or at least the explicit recognition of friendship in public, is surrounded by injunctions, inhibitions, passions, and laws. From Cicero to Montaigne, it is most often lawyers who have written the treatises on friendship. This essay takes up that curiosity or margin of law in which jurists address the norms and practices of amity.
