West Academic Publishing

An introduction to comparative law written from the American lawyer’s viewpoint rather than that of the European civil law lawyer. This expert discussion concentrates on the three major legal traditions of the West: civil, common, and socialist. Subjects covered include legal structures in civil law nations; legal actors in civil law tradition; procedure; substantive law; sources of law; judicial process; and rules. Also contains chapters on the European Union and the European human rights system.

Comparative Legal Traditions in a Nutshell (Nutshells)

This nutshell offers a general introduction to comparative law that includes both an overview of the methods of comparative law as well as of the two most widespread legal traditions in the world: civil (or Romano-Germanic) law and common law. For both legal traditions, this expert discussion covers their history; legal structures, including constitutional systems, courts, and judicial review; the roles of central legal actors, including lawyers, judges, and scholars; an overview of civil and criminal procedure; the principal sources of law and divisions of substantive law; and the judicial process. Throughout, the discussion also includes references to the place and the importance of supranational law and institutions and their impact on the civil law and common law traditions in Europe.

This new edition includes some significant revisions since the last edition was published in 2007. In addition to updating the materials to take into account developments in the law in the examined jurisdictions, the new edition also places discussion of the relevant regional law, for the most part European Union and Council of Europe law, within the examinations of the specific legal systems themselves (more accurately reflecting the realities of operating within those systems). In addition, there are updates and addition to the in-depth chapters focusing on discrete comparative problems and exercises.
