  & AdvocacyProfessor of Law\, University of WyomingRésumé de la confére
 nceThis conference uses the confluence of incitement to genocide and hate 
 speech in the deportation odyssey of Leon Mugesera to explore the power of
  stories in law. That power defines how we see the world\, how we form com
 munities of meaning\, and how we speak to one another.Previous commentator
 s have recognized that law is infused with stories\, from the narratives o
 f litigants\, to the rhetoric of lawyers\, to the tales that judges interp
 ret and create in the form of written opinions. “Judging Stories” buil
 ds on those insights to address the problems posed by transnational speech
  and the question of which norms apply to inflammatory publications transm
 itted across borders. This conference introduces the term “master story
 ” to make three related claims. First\, states produce and rely upon mas
 ter stories—constitutive legal narratives—that define political cultur
 e and shape the contours of permitted and forbidden speech. Second\, judge
 s play a unique role in constructing master stories. Judicial speech is di
 fferent than other forms of commentary and serves to join law with communa
 l fables in ways that legitimate some stories at the expense of others. Th
 ird\, courts and tribunals are beginning to use incitement to genocide—b
 ut not hate speech—to write a new master story. As geographically and te
 mporally removed tribunals are called upon to adjudicate hateful expressio
 n from outside the master story\, a global process is unfolding that may s
 erve to reset the balance between unfettered speech and the threat of dign
 itary harms posed by incendiary language. Channeling international human r
 ights law and norms\, judges are supplanting exhortations of hatred with t
 he language of reason in an effort to develop a body of transnational lega
 l rules\, a new nomos for an interconnected world.
