This book explores the unique nature of the fluidity of law in the continual evolution of society and the development of laws to respond to new life situations. While the fluidity of law frequently fluctuates from one moment to the next, this flexibility enables law to meet and adapt to new standards. Rather, law as a living entity is under constant strain and needs to be firmly grounded in the past as it subsequently adjusts or even swings in new directions to accommodate new possibilities. Its theoretical perspectives, including philosophical and sociological theories, are necessarily situated in relation to this tension-filled system. This book first explores the socio-cultural and legal portrayals of the fluidity of law, then provides legal case studies of this tension-filled system on localized as well as comparative scales. More generally, the book explores legal, social, and cultural avenues to help this system claims its unique identity; i.e., the fluidity of law.
