Practicing Ethgraphy in Law brings together a selection of top scholars in legal anthropology, social sciences, and law to delineate the state of the art in ethgraphic research strategies. Each of these original essays addresses a particular set of analytical problems and uses these problems to explore issues of ethgraphic technique, research methodology, and the theoretical underpinnings of ethgraphic legal studies. Subjects explored include the relationship between legal and feminist scholarship, between law and the media, law and globalization, and the usefulness of a wide variety of research techniques: comparative, linguistic, life-history, interview, and archival. This volume will serve as a guide for students who are designing their own research projects, for scholars who are newly exploring the possibilities of ethgraphic research, and for experienced ethgraphers who are engaged with methodological issues in light of current theoretical developments. The book will be essential reading for courses in anthropological methods, legal anthropology, and sociology and law.
