Legitimacy, Legal Development and Change: The Indonesian Case

The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism welcomes Dr. David Linnan, Associate Professor, University of South Carolina School of Law.

In his seminar, Dr. Linnan will explore the best way in social science terms to capture what actually goes on in legal development work at the individual level. He will discuss the background in empirical comparative law terms and then explore the social science behind the process of understanding of how claimants see and sort themselves into groups pursuing different legal processes under different legal systems (legal pluralism in action).

This talk and the related paper are an attempt to get whether and how legal development actually works particularly in non-Western societies.
