"That law both affects and is affected by the surrounding culture is a proposition so obvious as to hardly need mentioning. Yet the precise direction and nature of this relationship is among the most vexing problems in comparative (or any) law. Is law a reflection of the surrounding culture or one of its principal constitutive elements? Do countries have a legal culture, or subculture, that is distinct from their more general cultural tendencies or is this a contradiction in terms?"-- Provided by publisher
