Legal Practice and Cultural Diversity
Ashgate Publishing, Aug 2009, Pages: 360
Legal Practice and Cultural Diversity considers how contemporary cultural and religious diversity challenges legal practice, how legal practice responds to that challenge, and how practice is changing in the encounter with the cultural diversity occasioned by large-scale, post-war immigration. Locating actual practices and interpretations which occur in jurisprudence and in public discussion, this volume examines how the wider environment shapes legal processes and is in turn shaped by them. In so doing, the work foregrounds a number of themes principally relating to changing norms and practices and sensitivity to cultural and religious difference in the application of the law. Comparative in approach, this study places particular cases in their widest context, taking into account international and transnational influences on the way in which actors, legal and other, respond.
Reviews:
'This book provides valuable information and commentary on one of the most important developments in contemporary Western legal systems: their confrontation with the challenges and opportunities of deepening cultural diversity. Wide-ranging and richly detailed, it offers thought-provoking reading for all practitioners and theorists of law in multicultural societies.'
Roger Cotterrell, Queen Mary University of London, UK
