Law As Culture An Invitation

Law Is Integral To Culture, And Culture To Law. Often Considered A Distinctive Domain With Strange Rules And Stranger Language, Law Is Actually Part Of A Cultures Way Of Expressing Its Sense Of The Order Of Things. In Law As Culture, Lawrence Rosen Invites Readers To Consider How The Facts That Are Adduced In A Legal Forum Connect To The Ways In Which Facts Are Constructed In Other Areas Of Everyday Life, How The Processes Of Legal Decision-making Partake Of The Logic By Which The Culture As A Whole Is Put Together, And How Courts, Mediators, Or Social Pressures Fashion A Sense Of The World As Consistent With Common Sense And Social Identity.
