BOOK REVIEWS AMERICAN CIVIL PROCEDURE. By William Wirt Blume. New York: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1955. Pp. xv, 432. $6.50. The author of this book is a recognized authority in the field of civil procedure. He has written many law review articles and books on varied aspects of civil procedure. There can be no question but that he is uniquely qualified to write a textbook on American Civil Procedure. I have read Professor Blume's book from the point of view of one who has spent many years studying, teaching and writing on civil procedure with specific reference to the law of New York. Read from such an approach, I find that the book gives an antiquated notion of the law of procedure presently effective in the State of New York. I shall leave to others the task of making a critical analysis of the book with reference to the law of other states.' I undertake here the limited role of examining the book with a view of determining the extent to which it is reflective of the present law of New York.

The Methodology of Comparative Law Edward J. Eberle* I. INTRODUCTION In our increasingly globally linked world, comparative law needs to take on an ever more important role. With the rise of important new developments over the last thirty years, like the proliferation of the computer and the internet, global capital markets which begin in Asia and end in the United States, and the mutual trade in commodities, like oil, foodstuffs or metals, we are linked in important common ways. The computer, and especially its generation of the internet, has made us, in effect, a global village. Still, of course, there are differences among areas of the world and countries, notwithstanding the common linkages that connect us. And so, that brings us to the topic at hand: assessing the role and methodology of comparative law so that we can come up with a sound methodological framework to better understand the role of law in different countries.

Cody Moon Traditionally, constitutional courts claim that domestic commentaries and the constitutions themselves are the sole bases for the analysis and interpretation of their constitutions.1 For example, a constitutional court may consider the original meaning of a constitution when adopted or it may consider the common understanding of the words as used in the present day. As this Note will demonstrate, constitutional courts are increasingly looking to other constitutional courts’ holdings when interpreting their own constitutions. Part I of this Note is a general history of constitutional courts. It includes a look at the original justification for constitutional courts and judicial review. Additionally, Part I demonstrates the rise in popularity of constitutional courts and their resultant proliferation throughout the world.

  • Kischel's Comparative Law: Fortschritt Ohne Fortschritt
    Kischel’s Comparative Law Kischel’s Comparative Law: Fortschritt ohne Fortschritt PIERRE LEGRAND* Not for the first time, the field of comparative law is having to contend with an ambitious work of German scholarship purporting to assume epistemological governance of its theory and practice. On this occasion, the armisonous text issues from a chair at the university of Greifswald. There is, however, no cause for comparatists to worry that Professor Uwe Kischel’s massive Comparative Law should confute the orthodox lines and boundaries — the proper circumscriptions — according to which established thinking about the comparison of laws has long been inconsiderately proceeding.1 The set ways are not interrupted, the comfort zone is not disrupted: there is no dislocation. Even the occasional tweaking of comparative law’s acquis keeps matters firmly within the epistemic grooves, more specifically within discernibly German furrows. A translation of Kischel’s Rechtsvergleichung,2 Comparative Law readily attests to an extraordinary feat of dedication on the part of Andrew Hammel, a lawyer and comparatist in his own right, who practices, teaches, and researches in Germany against the background of a US legal education. It would be remiss of any reviewer, I think, not to praise Hammel on account of the sheer magnitude of his undertaking. Now, zur Sache selbst! • Although I claim decades of first-hand familiarity with German legal culture, with its hegemonic-order means and words (Rechtsdogmatik über alles!), and even as Günter Frankenberg was reprimanding Kischel’s one-thousand-page Rechtsvergleichung for its ‘glorifi[cation] [of] a narrowly utilitarian, positivist version’ of comparative law,3 rebuking it as ‘little more than a “Fehlerlehre”’,4 admonishing its ‘professional naiveté’,5 for example as regards its ‘presumption of neutrality’,6 chiding its intellectual confinement to ‘authors * Professor of Law at the Sorbonne (Paris); Visiting Professor, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law (Chicago); Distinguished Visiting Professor, University of San Diego School of Law.

The first section of the study offers a comparative-law introduction to the legal system of Cyprus – a mixed legal system that in matters of civil litigation, including evidence, tends to strongly follow the English common law tradition (including the existence of an autonomous legal field of evidence law, that tends to be dominated by criminal evidence law.

  • Comparative Law
    COMPARATIVE LAW This innovative, refreshing, and reader-friendly book is aimed at enabling stu- dents to familiarise themselves with the challenges and controversies found in comparative law. At present there is no book which clearly explains the contempo- rary debates and methodological innovations found in modern comparative law. This book fills that gap in teaching at undergraduate level, and for post-graduates will be a starting point for further reading and discussion. Among the topics covered are: globalisation, legal culture, comparative law and diversity, economic approaches, competition between legal systems, legal families and mixed systems, beyond Europe, convergence and a new ius commune, comparative commercial law, comparative family law, the ‘common core’ and the ‘better law’ approaches, comparative administrative law, comparative studies in constitutional contexts, comparative law for international criminal justice, judi- cial comparativism in human rights, comparative law in law reform, comparative law in the courts and a comparative law research project. The individual chapters can also be read as stand-alone contributions and are written by experts such as Masha Antokolskaia, John Bell, Roger Cotterrell, Sjef van Erp, Nicholas Foster, Patrick Glenn, Andrew Harding, Peter Leyland, Christopher McCrudden, Werner Menski, David Nelken, Anthony Ogus, Esin Örücü, Paul Roberts, Jan Smits and William Twining. Each chapter begins with a description of key concepts and includes questions for discussion and reading lists to aid further study. Traditional topics of private law, such as contracts, obligations and unjusti- fied enrichment are omitted as they are amply covered in other comparative law books, but developments in other areas of private law, such as family law, are included as being of current interest.

  • Foreign Law As Self-Fashioning
    Foreign Law As Self-Fashioning Foreign Law As Self-Fashioning PIERRE LEGRAND* ‘One believes to be choosing something, and it is always oneself that one chooses’. —Beckett1 ‘A man sets himself the task of drawing the world. Over the years, he peoples a space with images of provinces, of kingdoms, of mountains, of bays, of ships, of islands, of fishes, of rooms, of instruments, of stars, of horses and of persons. Shortly before he dies, he discovers that that patient labyrinth of lines traces the image of his face’. —Borges2 * A Rhodes Scholar, a Rudden supervisee, a Weir breakfast host (he onced cooked scrambled eggs for me in his Trinity rooms, which he served with caviar) — perhaps my three most forcible claims to something akin to academic distinction — I am based at the Sorbonne, where I offer an array of comparative courses ranging from the (un)translatability of law to civil procedure to legal reasoning. In addition (and much more significantly), I have long been teaching ‘comparative law’ (as the misnomer goes) at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law (Chicago), at the University of San Diego School of Law, at the University of Cambridge and at Sciences Po. Besides these pedagogical undertakings, I hold no administrative responsibilities whatsoever, and I am not an active member of any society, organization, consortium, cluster, laboratory, institute, centre, research group, task force, committee or network. I do not control a budget, and I do not have access to financial resources. I do not evaluate research proposals or grant applications. I do not assess submissions for publication.
