Legal Research Methods in a Modern World


Add your own review!

Overview

A lawyer has to have experienced European society and the European legal research environment, for quite some time to be able to truly understand the way European legal research is conducted. The same can be said about Europeans dealing with America and its different legal frameworks. This book breaks the oceanic divide. It is the first legal research guide to consider the internationalization and globalization in both the new law school curriculums and the changing practice of law. Lawyers engaged in European/US transborder transactions need to know how to find, understand and compare applicable foreign and international laws. This third edition has been totally revised from previous editions and includes more chapters, including coverage of the Far East and Russia. It is carefully designed as a coursebook for several alternative courses on legal research.

Reviews

This book will enable law students and lawyers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean to speak each other's legal research language, a good first step for successful international collaboration and understanding . (Dr Juris Bertrand Ramcharan, 2003-2004 UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.) This book abounds with many useful asides regarding the similarities and differences of common and Civil law, wgich is useful to scholars and practitioners alike on both sides of the atlantic. Legal Research Methods in the US & Europe has broken new ground by offering a concise guide to transatlantic legal research in a single volume. It is clear that as the practice of law globalizes, so too must legal education, specifically legal research methods . (Scott J. Shakelford, Mphil, Cambridge & Stanford Law Student)
