About this title

Review:

The presentations are well systematized, clear, and well written. They are a pleasure to read. Students who have been taught comparative law by the book are well armed. --Author: Ole Lando, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

I do not hesitate to recommend this book to readers who are studying, teaching and practicing contract law across the world. The first edition of this book attracted me because it provided a panoramic world map of contract laws in different jurisdictions with a precise and special narrative. For a comparative law professor in China the methodology used in this book, which addresses important common issues as scenarios and illustrates different approaches to those scenarios from different perspectives based on case analysis, is also utmostly valuable in doing comparison on other subjects of comparative law. --Author: Xiangshun Ding, Renmin University of China Law School

Thomas Kadner Graziano s Comparative Contract Law: Cases, Materials and Exercises, now in its second English edition, is an excellent book and a remarkable pedagogical tool. It very convincingly makes the case for the use of comparative law, and gives a topical example of how the comparative approach can enlarge and deepen a lawyer s perspective, in the specific field of contract law. Based on a unique array of various national and international legal materials, the book is the ideal basis for a truly comparative and transnational legal class. --Author: Jean-Sébastien Borghetti, Université Panthéon-Assas (Paris II), France
