Paper Summary

The Islamic legal tradition is defined by three main themes: legal pluralism, legal determinacy, and legal reform. While the tradition is diverse, legal determinacy provides stability. The practice of law by judges, not just jurists, is crucial for a stable legal system. This approach allows for new possibilities for legal reform.
