One of the greatest contributions of the twentieth century was undoubtedly the expansion of the concept of culture.

Research into law and culture was somewhat belated but has recently yielded a multitude of interesting literature and relevant inquiries. This important volume brings together meditations from some of the leading scholars in the field.
