For law students and lawyers to successfully understand and
practice law in the U.S., recognition of the wider context and
culture which informs the law is essential. Simply learning the
legal rules and procedures in isolation is not enough without an
appreciation of the culture that produced them. This book provides
the reader with an understandable introduction to the ways in which
U.S. law reflects its culture and each chapter begins with
questions to guide the reader, and concludes with questions for
review, challenge and further understanding. Kirk W. Junker
explores cultural differences, employing history, social theory,
philosophy, and language as "reference frames," which are then
applied to the rules and procedures of the U.S. legal system in the
book's final chapter. Through these cultural reference frames
readers are provided with a set of interpretive tools to inform
their understanding of the substance and institutions of the law.
With a deeper understanding of this cultural context, international
students will be empowered to more quickly adapt to their studies;
more comprehensively understand the role of the attorney in the
U.S. system; draw comparisons with their own domestic legal
systems, and ultimately become more successful in their legal
careers both in the U.S. and abroad.
"Communicating Science" will be an invaluable source-book for those
eager to learn about or enter the professional world of science.
