They see their roots as being primarily in one such discipline and, from that base, they explore outwards. In recent years, in Britain, posts in socio-legal research have been created in law schools, and part of the motivation for this — apart from any intellectual arguments — may have been that SLS is seen in some university environments as a promising focus for attracting external grants to support research.
Taken as a whole, this volume demonstrates that Socio-legal studies book discussion is most helpful when rooted in empirical cases, and that the best case studies also help us to develop our methodologies. I argued that legal philosophy — in the Socio-legal studies book developed since the s in the Anglophone world which came to dominate legal theory until relatively recently — is unsuited to this role. This Special Issue offers descriptions of judicial practices involving experts in local laws and customs and surveys of the most frequent fields of expert witnessing that are related with culture; interrogates who the experts are, their links with local communities, and also with the courts and the state power and politics; how cultural expert witnessing has been received by judges; how cultural expertise has developed across the sister disciplines of history and psychiatry; and eventually, it asks whether academic truth and legal truth are commensurable across time and space.

Global contestation over the institutions of democracy and state building cannot be meaningful unless considered in relation to constitutionalism.
