Industry Reviews

Anthropologists explore the use of cultural expert testimony as evidence in legal conflicts that invoke cultural difference. They address knowing the role of expert testimony in a cultural defense, reconciling the job of expert witness with other professional roles, relating to defendants versus informants, employing legal concepts that have little anthropological acceptance, producing testimony in changing historical and political contexts, and helping judges understand culture. -- Annotation (c)2018 * (protoview.com) *
