Abstract

Let me state it quite clearly at the outset. ``Judicial Deliberations" is an important book, a piece of work that conclusively demonstrates why comparative law should occupy in the United States a much higher academic position than it actually does. In this short piece I will try to show the important cultural role that, I believe, ``Judicial Deliberations" should play if its important message will be fully appreciated. I argue that the book contains an important paradigm shift in the mentalite' of U.S. scholarship, which potentially impacts not only U.S. comparativists but also many domestic U.S. lawyers that in these last few years of ``legal globalization" are looking beyond the boarders of U.S. law. ``Judicial Deliberations" contains the seed of humbleness.
