Problems in Cross-Cultural Legal Discourse: U.S. Federal and Native American Tribal Criminal Law
Abstract Through examination of conflict of laws as to U.S. federal courts and tribal law, this study highlights the impact of culture upon legal meaning. Disparities stem from long-standing norms which underpin legal concepts. These terms which give rise to legal philosophy and the judicial process defy clear English interpretation. Examples include the Latin term mens rea which serves as the foundation for Anglo-American punishment theory, and the Navajo term hózhó from which all conceptualizations of social order emanate. An exploration of these examples in the context of a recent case underscores the close link between law and culture.
期刊介绍:
Global Jurist offers a forum for scholarly cyber-debate on issues of comparative law, law and economics, international law, law and society, and legal anthropology. Edited by an international board of leading comparative law scholars from all the continents, Global Jurist is mindful of globalization and respectful of cultural differences. We will develop a truly international community of legal scholars where linguistic and cultural barriers are overcome and legal issues are finally discussed outside of the narrow limits imposed by positivism, parochialism, ethnocentrism, imperialism and chauvinism in the law. Submission is welcome from all over the world and particularly encouraged from the Global South.
