Editorial Reviews

Review

The prince of legal textbooks.It is indeed, impossible to imagine a major set of chambers or firm of solicitors without this book... its real claim to authority is its combination of erudition and lucidity... a glance at the table of contents will demonstrate how necessary, besides attractive, this book is.The thirteenth edition of this outstanding legal treatise is quite as good as its legal predecessors were and Dicey and Morris retains its position as one of the very best of legal practitioners' works as well as prominence as an academic text.This publication belongs to the selective group of books that sets standards in its particular field...What distinguishes this scholarly work from similar or less ambitious ones?...it is the clarity of the text and meticulous manner in which the problems are analysed and the arguments presented...Having attained a global recognition as a standard work, it is an essential tool for understanding the theory and practice of the conflict of laws worldwide...These two volumes deserve a place in all comparative law libraries and it is difficult to imagine a good law library without them.The editors of the current edition should be congratulated for fully maintaining and enhancing the reputation of this excellent book. Lord Goff of Chieveley. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
