Cultural Expertise and Litigation addresses the role of social
scientists as a source of expert evidence, and is a product of
their experiences and observations of cases involving litigants of
South Asian origin. What is meant in court by "culture," "custom"
and "law"? How are these concepts understood by witnesses,
advocates, judges and litigants? How far are cross-cultural
understandings facilitated - or obscured - in the process? What
strategies are adopted? And which ones turn out to be successful in
court? How is cultural understanding - and misunderstanding -
produced in these circumstances? And how, moreover, do the
decisions in these cases not only reflect, but impact, upon the law
and the legal procedure? Cultural Expertise and Litigation
addresses these questions, as it elicits the patterns, conflicts
and narratives that characterize the legal role of social
scientists in a variety of de facto plural settings - including
immigration and asylum law, family law, citizenship law and
criminal law.
