5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Comprehensive guide for Int Law Students, February 5, 2003

This review is from: International Law (Paperback)

I found this book incredibly useful for research, and as one of the main sources of information for a law competition I participated in.
The information is presented in a clear manner, yet it encompases a large range of international law theory. On top of that it includes real life examples within the text, but in a format, that they can be skipped over if neccesary.
The book was a great guide to international law jurisprudence, pointing me in the right direction in every case.
This book is great either as an introduction to international law, or as a reference book.
I think its an all around must-have.

This review is from: International Law (Paperback)

I consider this book as an excellent text for students of International Law and International Relations. The work provides clear legal reasoning and information, but also interesting and updated examples. This mixture makes the book extremely interesting, including the web infomation linked to the book.
Actually, I adopted this text as the basic reading for my University introductory course on Public International Law.
