Anglo-American Perspectives on Private International Law

Reed (criminal and private law, Sunderland University) provides an account of the common themes, related jurisprudence, and theoretical underpinnings that have guided Anglo-American traditions in family law, tort jurisdiction, choice of laws, and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. He strives to provide a global perspective by considering English common law practice, model templates provided by the Brussels, Lugano, and Rome Conventions, American jurisprudence, and recent Commonwealth initiatives.
