LEGAL CULTURE VERSUS Legal Tradition? The dichotomy is unreal in most circumstances. But not in all. Legal culture is legal tradition, and legal tradition is legal culture. But with an exception. Those living the culture, namely lawyers including judges and law professors, are usually unaware of the tradition. They are often unaware of, and indifferent to, history. (I would like readers to know that I am dealing only with private law. Constitutional law is beyond my expertise).
