Following Conley and O’Barr’s (Conley, John, O’Barr, William, 1990. Rules versus Relationships: The Ethnography of Legal Discourse. University of Chicago Press, Chicago), this article describes the construction of legal consciousness in the presentational and interactional discourse of a support group for parents who have children with disabilities. In the special education system of US schools. The legal consciousness developed in the discourse of this group incorporates both rule-based and relational orientations toward the law: a relational legal consciousness focused on advocacy is generally and enthusiastically forwarded, but a rule-based orientation emerges at a crucial point to constrain the relational orientation and define the limits of advocacy.
