[J B]

The "problem-based approach" employed throughout text is an original, useful, and illuminating method of legal pedagogy. However, much of the text is often outdated and poorly edited, such that the most recent edition confounds rather than clarifies.

In short, this text has not been taken care of in subsequent editions (although the new additions certainly profit the authors/editors/publishers). Little has been done to update, organize, or enhance this text. It is in need of a substantial overhaul. Until then, it is extremely overpriced, and thus disappointing.

[Gary Gudmundson]

A Must read if you are in international business.

Serves as a textbook in some internatinal law courses.
