This article examines how a politics of speed is manifest in a legal context via a detailed ethnography of the French National Court of Asylum (CNDA). It identifies the temporal, spatial, and organizational ordering techniques that characterize asylum appeals in France and discusses the consequences of these techniques for the way in which the appeal process is experienced by legal decision makers and subjects. It reveals adverse impacts of legal quickening on legal quality, in particular through identifying: ‘cracks’ in the performance of legal roles like lawyer and judge that begin to appear when law is executed rapidly and repetitively; dwindling opportunities to demonstrate and experience respect between parties; and the ‘thinning‐out’ of legal process, as heuristics rather than deliberation come to dominate legal reasoning. The article contributes to a burgeoning body of socio‐legal literature on law and time by establishing the negative impact of excessive legal quickening on role performance, respect, and legal quality.

法律与速度：庇护上诉以及加快法律程序的技巧和后果

本文通过法国国家庇护法院（CNDA）的详细人种志研究了在法律背景下如何体现速度政治。它确定了法国庇护上诉所特有的时间，空间和组织排序技术，并讨论了这些技术对法律决策者和主体进行上诉过程的影响。它揭示了法律加速对法律质量的不利影响，特别是通过确定：快速和重复执行法律时出现的律师和法官等法律角色的“裂缝”；减少和展现各方之间尊重的机会；以及法律程序的“细化”，因为启发法而非审议成为法律推理的主导。
