Are national legal cultures in Europe converging or diverging as a
result of the pressures of European legal integration? Ase B.
Grodeland and William L. Miller address this question by exploring
the attitudes and perceptions of the general public and law
professionals in five European countries: England, Norway,
Bulgaria, Poland and the Ukraine. Presenting new findings, they
challenge the established view that ordinary citizens and people
working professionally with the law have different legal cultures.
Their research in fact reveals that the attitudes of citizens in
Eastern and Western Europe towards 'law-in-principle' are
remarkably similar, whereas perceptions of 'law-in-practice' differ
by country and often correlate with GDP per capita and country
ranking in rule of law indices. Grodeland and Miller's innovative
methodological approach will appeal to both experts and non-experts
with an interest in legal culture, European integration, or
European elite and public opinion.
