This volume addresses the pluralistic identity of the legal order.
It argues that the mutual reflexivity of the different ways society
perceives law and law perceives society eclipses the unique formal
identity of written law. It advances a distinctive approach to the
plural ways in which legal cultures work in a modern society,
through the metaphor of the mirror. As a mirror of society, it
distinguishes between the structure and function of legal culture
within the legal system, and the external representation of law in
society. This duality is further problematized in relation to the
increasing transnationalisation of law. Based on a multi-level
interpretation of the concept of legal culture, the work is divided
into three parts: the first addresses the mutual reflections of
social and legal norms that support a pluralist representation of
internal legal cultures, the second concentrates on the external
legal cultures that constantly enable pragmatic adjustments of the
legal order to its social environment, and the third concludes the
book with a theoretical discussion of the issues presented.
