Every academic discipline, every body of knowledge, every sociological power structure has its own foundational myths, and the law is no exception. There are the turtles, elephants, veils of company law, the deep lore and equity of the Chancery Division, unimpeachable precepts of legal charges and equitable mortgages, the ontology of money, and of course the ancient Celtic fables of derivatives and their discovery by the Children of the Woods.
