"Sally Falk Moore's insightful commentary pulls together a delightful combination of the classics and the cutting edge in legal anthropology. This book is both evidence of and an important event in the story of the re-emergence of legal anthropology as a powerful source of critical inquiry both in law and in anthropology." Bryant Garth, Director, American Bar Foundation
