New textbook
Comparing legal cultures in Europe a textbook tailored for students' demands

In the new and third edition of Comparing Legal Cultures, (first ed. 2017, second ed. 2020) the editors have chosen to reduce the number of legal cultures included. The idea behind the revision of this book was to meet pedagogical demands and to reduce the price. The book starts with a general introduction of the purpose of the textbook and explains the analytical framework and the structure of each of the contributions. It contains introductory chapters on the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish Legal Cultures, followed by chapters on Scotland and England, France and Germany. The final chapter broadens the perspective and invites the reader to reflect on the extent it is possible to speak of a European legal culture. Each chapter contains 3 to 5 reflection questions which the reader can explore and discuss with others in order to test their knowledge and understanding. The release of the new textbook is scheduled for December 2025.
