Synopsis

This is a contemporary introduction to comparative law, tracing its history, aims and functions and increasing relevance in a rapidly changing world. Topics covered include the origins of civil law and common law traditions, non-Western legal systems and the implications of the EC law as a supranational legal system. It also sharts the decline of the socialist legal tradition in Eastern Europe, the unification of Germany, and the emergence of the new Russian Federation. A comparative study of statutory interpretations and approches to case law is included.

About this title

Review:

Praise for the first edition; 'The first edition of this lucidly written, helpfully and logically structured, sensibly indexed, and very scholarly book, packed with so much knowledge from so many sources, was an enormous help to teachers and students of comparative law both at under-graduate and post-graduate levels. It assisted lecturers in other subjects including contract, tort, sale of goods, and employment to add an authoritative comparative element to their course. The second edition, which takes into account subsequent events, developments and currents of thought, further enhances it great value. The Law Teacher, Andrew Watson, Inns of Court School of Law.
