Problem: Professor of Law Marjorie Silver has written on the topic of multiculturalism and legal professional responsibility, stating:
Lawyers engaged in cross-cultural representation should learn about the history and sociopolitical situation in the client's country of origin; how culture affects the client's experience of different legal institutions; how courts and other legal institutions respond to persons from the client's culture; and how cultural experience affects the client's decision-making processes.
Critically reflect upon how your cultural understanding will inform your ability to communicate effectively with clients of diverse backgrounds. Unpack what your 'cultural understanding' entails and where it originates from. You should refer to your beliefs, relevant experience and what you learnt from the kinship modules.
