Description

This is the second of two volumes announcing the emergence of the new legal realism.

At a time when the legal academy is turning to social science for new approaches, these volumes chart a new course for interdisciplinary research by synthesizing law on the ground, empirical research, and theory.

Volume 2 explores the integration of global perspectives and information into our understanding of law.

Increasingly, local experiences of law are informed by broader interactions of national, international, and global law.

Lawyers, judges, and other legal actors often have to respond to these broader contexts, while those pursuing justice in various global contexts must wrestle with the specific problems of translation that emerge when different concepts of law and local circumstances interact.

Using empirical research, the authors in this path-breaking volume shed light on current developments in law at a global level.
