Comparative Law: Cases, Text, Materials

by Rudolf B. Schlesinger

This casebook for the study of comparative law discusses legal changes resulting from the end of the Soviet Empire and of socialist law. It traces the continuing impact that both European Community law and regional human rights law have had on the internal legal systems of European countries, concomitant tensions toward a revised "common law of Europe," and toward a closer convergence between civil and common law systems. It discusses renewed attention to the methodological problems faced by comparative law, in part because of these other problems.
