Can there be such a thing as a European sociology of law? The
uncertainties which arise when attempting to answer that
straightforward question are the subject of this book, which also
overlaps into comparative law, legal history, and legal philosophy.
The richness of approaches reflected in the essays (including
comparisons with the US) makes this volume a courageous attempt to
show the present state of socio- legal studies in Europe and map
directions for its future development. Certainly we already know
something about the existence of differences in the use and meaning
of law within and between the nation states and groups that make up
the European Union. They concern the role of judges and lawyers,
the use of courts, patterns of delay, contrasts in penal
'sensibilities', or the meanings of underlying legal and social
concepts. Still, similarities in 'legal culture' are at least as
remarkable in societies at roughly similar levels of political and
economic development. The volume should serve as a needed stimulus
to a research agenda aimed at uncovering commonalities and
divergences in European ways of approaching the law.
