2.0 out of 5 stars
Very dry for the interest subject,
By
This review is from: Comparative Legal Traditions: Text, Materials, and Cases on the Civil and Common Law Traditions, With Special Reference to French, German, English (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)
The book was edited in 1994 and does not reflect the latest changes in the law, especially European one (including Eastern Europe). In addition it is very dry. The best part of the book is the history of law development and description of judicial system in France, Germany and England. But thats it! Only West European law is reviewed; nothing about Islamic law, law of African countries (I would like to have brief description at least); the description of Russian law is laughable,no insight.Bottom line, if you have a choice DO NOT buy it or buy a used one...
