Editorial Review

Product Description: In these critical essays a leading comparative lawyer:

  • examines the movement for convergence of the Civil Law and the Common Law
  • describes the Italian Style and the French Deviation
  • contrasts Common Law estate with Civil Law ownership
  • explains why the distinction between public law and private law is important to Civil Lawyers but has little interest for Common Lawyers
  • exposes the fatal emptiness at the core of the Law and Development movement
  • proposes a marriage of comparative law and scientific explanation
  • emphasizes the fundamental relation between law and social and cultural change
  • argues that the dominant tradition of comparative law teaching and scholarship is trapped in a cramped and arid 19th century paradigm
  • advocates a culturally broader and historically richer approach to comparative law teaching and scholarship
