Description

In honour of the work and writings of Professor John Bell, leading scholars present essays on factors affecting the course of 'legal development' in common law and Civilian systems.

The reasons and context for legal development in a comparative perspective embrace the law both in action and in the books, legal institutions, legal cultures, and the extra-legal environment.

Offering an accessible pathway into understanding comparative law, the collection introduces the core features of understanding foreign legal systems.

With a range of illustrative case studies, the essays explore topical problems and debates in tort, contract, legal history, and judicial studies.

In a tribute to one of the defining legal scholars of our time, this volume draws a rich, nuanced picture of the object of comparative legal research, and indicates new and exciting avenues for further research.
