What makes a great book? If the determining factors are the
content,authorship and timing of publication then this collection
of essays from some of Europe's most eminent judges and jurists
satisfies all three criteria. Readers will here find the expanded
versions of the speeches given at a one-day conference in London to
mark, from a legal point of view, the beginning of the new
millennium. In a thoughtful and predominantly comparative manner
the distinguished speakers explore the cross fertilisation of ideas
that is taking place between the Common and Civil law systems in
such important topics as human rights, commercial law, and
comparative methodology. The contributors include Lords Irvine,
Bingham, Woolf, Steyn, and Goff, the President of the Court of the
European Communities, Dr Iglesias, the President of the Court of
Human Rights, Dr Wildhaber, the President of the German
Constitutional Court, Professor Limbach, Justices Lenoir and
Mirabelli, respectively of the French and Italian Constitutional
Courts, the Professor Walter van Gerven, former Advocate General of
the Court of the European Communities, Professor Klaus Hopt,
co-Director of the Max-Planck Institute of Hamburg, Professor
Christian von Bar, Director of the Institute of Comparative Law at
the University of Osnabruck and the organiser of the conference,
Professor Basil Markesinis, Director of the Oxford Institute of
European and Comparative Law. The book commences with a Foreword by
Keith Clark, Senior Partner of the multinational law firm, Clifford
Chance, who have sponsored the conference. This is a unique book
about legal practice in the increasingly integrated world of
tomorrow.
