CULTEXP has added value to the state of play of cultural expertise for the legal professions. Public institutions are the obvious starting point, but cultural expertise is set extend to private organisations and have crucial impact on governance of complex organisations

Cultural expertise is crucial in the legal process, as it brings the unique experiences of the accused and litigants to the forefront. By adding cultural context, courts can make fairer, more informed decisions, ensuring that the law truly reflects the diverse realities of those it serves

I believe that significant potential lies ahead for CULTEXP, including the intersections between research innovation and the protection of democracy which constantly reduces hierarchies and domination over vulnerable social groups. Partnerships and collaborations between academia, courts, expert witnesses, litigants, journalists, and other stakeholders are essential for this purpose.

Cultural expertise is an emergent concept in the social sciences to indicate the special knowledge deployed by experts of laws and cultures for assisting decision-making authorities in conflict resolution with information on the socio-legal backgrounds of facts and persons involved.

CULTEXP is a “stripped back” demonstrator for the first multilingual and cross-jurisdictional socio-legal database on cultural expertise. CULTEXP allows to search case law involving cultural expertise with or without cultural experts in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

CULTEXP is an output of Cultural Expertise in Europe: What is it useful for? EURO-EXPERT, 681814 funded by the European Research Council. The Pakistan and Indonesia sections of CULTEXP are outputs of Gender Sensitisation for Judicial Education in Pakistan and Indonesia, funded by Great Challenges Research Funds.

We have designed CULTEXP, a demonstrator for the first multilingual and cross-jurisdictional socio-legal database on cultural expertise. We are currently testing CULTEXP’s architecture for further developing human-machine data-entry and translation.
