Beschreibung

This volume addresses practical concerns of how to create space for legal anthropology in both law and anthropology programmes. Acknowledging that anthropologists and lawyers still often regard one another with a degree of suspicion, the authors try to bridge the apparent epistemological and ontological gulf separating the disciplines. They empathize both the need for law students to go beyond the standard approach to law while stressing the need for anthropologists to have a solid foundation in law, legal practice, and legal procedure. The collection also addresses the issue of preparing anthropologists to apply their expertise in legal settings as expert witnesses and consultants.
