The goal of the program is to produce Law School graduates sophisticated in the study of Cultural Anthropology. As students explore the interactions between culture and law, they will find their perspectives on law considerably broadened. From comparative study they will gain a sense of how different societies handle important legal matters, such as maintenance of social order, dispute resolution, and allocation of resources. As lawyers must increasingly deal in an international arena, understanding diverse cultural norms and ideologies can be invaluable to the legal practitioner.
