About 10 years ago, someone suggested to me that I would be a good lawyer. It took a few years before the idea became a possibility and another year for the possibility to become a plan.

Cultural anthropology is usually the stuff of remote rainforest tribes and secluded island kingdoms. But in a unique twist, Windsor Law professor Laverne Jacobs is applying the analytical tools of anthropology to a legal issue that strikes much closer to home.
