Culture and Law: Beyond a Paradigm of Cause and Effect

Abigail C. Saguy

Forrest Stuart

University of California, Los Angeles

This article examines a variety of ways in which social scientists make cultural argument about the law, including (1) holding culture as the independent variable to explain variations in law, (2) taking law as an independent variable to explain culture, or (3) considering law as culture. The authors explore each general strategy and its advantages and disadvantages in turn and argue that the law as culture perspective is one of the most interesting recent developments in sociolegal thought.

Key Words: culture • law • legal consciousness
