Reviews

'The list of contributors is truly impressive, not only for its length (69 authors) and its geographic and jurisdictional diversity (22 jurisdictions), but also for its high calibre. The list includes some of the most accomplished comparatists of our time, as well as many of the rising stars of the new generation. Their combined experience and effort should reward even the most demanding of readers.'--Symeon C. Symeonides, Willamette University College of Law, US
