'This book contains a wonderful collection of essays written by renowned experts. The work is based on creative distinction between entrenched, endangered or blended systems. The book provides insights into systems from St Lucia to Mauritius and from Scotland to Quebec. Indispensable reading for anyone interested in contemporary mixed legal systems or comparative law.' Jaakko Husa, University of Lapland, Finland 'The book provides an excellent and valuable insight into how different legal cultures coexist in a number of countries, focusing mainly on small territories whose survival as mixed jurisdictions depends on constant inflow of intellectual and material resources from abroad. I can recommend it to all comparative legal scholars.' Michael Bogdan, Lund University, Sweden 'I have been studying, teaching, and reflecting about mixed legal systems for more than three decades, but this book has taught me plenty more, while also showing that there is even more to explore. Thoughtfully conceived and expertly executed, this book is an indispensable addition to the literature on mixed systems and comparative law in general.' Symeon C. Symeonides, Willamette University, USA and President, International Association of Legal Science '...an important addition to the literature on mixed legal systems and comparative law in general, and will undoubtedly prove a boon to further research.' Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law
