When attending court hearings related to the Formosa Plastics Naphtha Cracker case, sociologist Paul Jobin frequently creates his own drawings. The drawings are necessary for legal reasons, since the court does neither permit audio recordings or photography, but written transcripts are allowed. The illustrations serve as supplements to the written notes, but also as devices to focus his attention on both interactions and language use. As civic data, the drawings point to the legal regimes that govern the creation of (legal) data in Taiwan and elsewhere.
