An Introduction to Comparative Law

An Introduction to Comparative Law by Konrad Zweigert

This third edition of the modern classic Zweigert & Kötz's Introduction to Comparative Law is fully revised and updated, but its familiar structure and easy style remain the same. The book first discusses the nature of Comparative Law, its functions, aims, methods and history, and then it surveys the main features of the major legal families of the world. In the second part it provides a model of comparative law in action, comparing, contrasting and evaluating the different approaches and solutions of the major legal systems. As well as offering an excellent grounding in comparative private law, this book is an essential base for further research.

This is an excellent guide to legal systems of the world, for both students and lawyers.. because of its rich content and its ability to shrink a rather large body of information into a succinct one-volume publication. * American Society of International Law Newsletter *
