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.

'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 '...this book raises topical and important issues about the future of legal practice in societies which are increasingly diverse both in culture and religion. The editors deserve credit for the thoughtful arrangement of essays, the intended aim of which is to document and explore a wide range of aspects from the perspective of social sciences.' Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law '...this book raises topical and important issues on the future of legal practice in increasingly culturally and religiously diverse societies.
