The result of increased migration is the interaction among cultural communities and inevitably clashes between state law and customary law. These cultural conflicts have given rise to a new multicultural jurisprudence. In this volume scholars grapple with the immense challenges judges are currently experiencing everywhere. To what extent can and should courts accommodate litigants' requests by taking their cultural backgrounds into account? This collection brings together powerful examples of the cultural defense in many countries in Western Europe, North America, and elsewhere. It shows the ubiquity of this defense, contrary to the mistaken impression that it has been invoked principally in the United States. This book makes the case for undertaking studies of the use of the cultural defense in jurisdictions all over the world where this has not been previously documented. Many of the chapters concentrate on criminal cases including homicide in the context of honour crimes, provocation based on 'loss of face' or witchcraft killings. Some deal with other areas of law such as asylum jurisprudence, family law and housing policy. They show in concrete cases how cultural claims have arisen and how legal systems wrestle with these arguments. It is clear that judges have had considerable difficulty handling many of the cultural claims. The authors demonstrate persuasively the need to reconsider the proper use of cultural evidence in legal proceedings. Those interested in the ways in which expertise influences the disposition of cases will find this book compelling."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aOnati international series in law and society. 606 $aActions and defenses$xSociological aspects 606 $aCultural defense (Law) 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aDefense (Civil procedure)$xSociological aspects 606 $aDefense (Criminal procedure)$xSociological aspects 606 $aLaw and globalization 606 $aMulticulturalism$xLaw and legislation 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 606 $2Jurisprudence & philosophy of law 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aActions and defenses$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aCultural defense (Law) 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 615 0$aDefense (Civil procedure)$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aDefense (Criminal procedure)$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aLaw and globalization. 615 0$aMulticulturalism$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 676 $a340.115 676 $a340.2 702 $aFoblets$b Marie-Claire$f1959- 702 $aRenteln$b Alison Dundes 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455291603321 996 $aMulticultural jurisprudence$92456849 997 $aUNINA
