<p>This casebook addresses the global dimension of civil procedure, and the conflicts that American law gives rise to in cross-border litigation scenarios. One of the chief purposes of the book is to sensitize U.S. students to the different perceptions of procedural fairness as they prevail outside the U.S. The authors provide a unique comparative perspective on international litigation. This very teachable set of materials is designed to be accessible to Civil Procedure teachers who wish to teach the course, and it is also suitable for current teachers of transnational litigation. Topics include personal jurisdiction; cross-border service of process; subject matter jurisdiction; taking of evidence abroad; problems of choice of forum, choice of law and parallel proceedings; recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments; international arbitration; and foreign sovereign immunities.\nThe new edition takes up recent developments, such as decisions restricting personal jurisdiction based on a defendant’s corporation’s contacts with the forum state that are unrelated to the claims asserted by the plaintiff; decisions restricting the extra-territorial application of federal statutes; and the “recast” of the Brussels Regulation on Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters in the European Union.</p>

It is nearly ten years since the appearance of the successful first edition of  this convenient English-language introduction to the law of Germany. This new  edition covers all the significant changes and innovations that have occurred  during that period, encompassing the pervasive impacts of European law and of  globalisation, the major recent reform of the German Civil Code, and the  greatly increased activity of the German legislature in every area.   With fifteen lucid chapters written by academic expects in their respective  fields of law, as well as detailed bibliographies, this is the ideal starting  point for research whenever a question of German law must be answered. The  authors clearly explain the legal concepts, customs, and rules arising from  such basic elements as the following:       characteristic problems of Germany legal unity;   principles and practices of constitutional law;   administrative law and procedure;   the German Commercial Code;   formation and conduct of corporations and partnerships;   contracts;   tort liability;   property rights;   family law;   succession and inheritance;   labor and employment;   issues of private international law;   courts and civil procedure;   the penal code and criminal procedure.       Introduction to German Law, Second Edition provides an  authoritative description of all issues likely to emerge in the course of  normal application of German law in any context.
