This textbook is aimed at students and teachers but is also of interest to the wider legal community. It seeks to compare laws and legal process in respect of different cultures and traditions. The avowed aim is not just to explore different classifications (or taxonomies) of laws in different jurisdictions, but also to take a critical and dynamic approach to the subject. This also involves analysing sometimes controversial topics (such as gun control and the wearing of the veil) to examine how laws evolve and cross-relate across international borders. This is a rich seam of legal endeavour. -- David Glass, Law Society Gazette The primary aim of comparative law is knowledge, we have long been taught. Not so, as this new book shows: comparative law can be taught as a critical practice. And who could be better teachers than Fernanda Nicola and Günter Frankenberg, leading scholars and dedicated teachers of critical comparative law since long ago. Groundbreaking. -- Ralf Michaels, Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Germany and Queen Mary University, UK This is an exciting new comparative law book from two leading scholars in the field, which combines a problem-based and practice-based approach with critical perspectives on mainstream or conventional comparative law. With chapters covering topics which range across the fields of private and public law, and engaging with key debates on methodology, this should be a wonderful book for teachers, students and scholars of comparative law alike. -- Grįinne de Bśrca, New York University School of Law, US This is a one of a kind book in comparative law. It brings together the best of the field problems, facts, functions, critique, politics, context, and borrowings. No esoteric discussions about method or random foreign law facts. It simply teaches how to practice comparative law and how to apply it to contemporary issues. -- Jorge L. Esquirol, Florida International University, College of Law, US
