This book is part of a series of introductory books to the laws of various countries. These provide academics, lawyers, businessmen, government officials and students with a basic knowledge of legal concepts of a particular country, in this case Hungary, with special emphasis on practical issues.
Hungary, which is the first Eastern European country included in the series, chose a new form of government only a few years ago. Consequently the legal system and the laws of the country are still in a state of adaptation. The historical connection to the Civil Law worlds however, is enabling Hungary to overcome the legal gap caused by political developments after the Second World War in a relatively short period of time.
Introduction to Hungarian Law gives a compact yet comprehensive overview of most areas of law, from constitutional law and administrative law to business law and labour law.
