Focusing on the operations of modern Islamic courts in the Arabic-speaking world, the study delves into the cultural foundations that influence judicial discretion. Using Morocco's Islamic courts as a case study, it highlights how local concepts and expertise shape legal proceedings. The author contrasts these practices with Anglo-American law, emphasizing the intertwined nature of law and culture in both contexts. This examination reveals the significance of everyday relationships and societal norms in the functioning of legal systems.
