Synopsis

Bringing together an international array of legal scholars, this discerning Research Handbook provides a comparative analysis of civil procedure law. Chapters examine the rules that dictate how a civil dispute is initiated, processed, decided and enforced in a court of law, comparing each aspect of the procedure across continents including Asia, Europe and the Americas.

The Research Handbook delves into the fundamental principles of civil procedure, access to evidence and the psychology of procedural justice, drawing on in-depth and contextualized studies from the Global North and South. Adopting a forward-thinking approach, the contributing authors look to the future of civil dispute resolution, discussing potential developments in processes such as the digitization of judicial procedure and deciding lawsuits outside of courts.

Presenting invaluable new perspectives on civil procedure law, this comprehensive Research Handbook is an essential read for scholars and practitioners in international practice and transnational litigation. It will also benefit students and researchers interested in dispute resolution, comparative politics and sociology.
