Comparative Law and Society, part of the Research Handbooks in
Comparative Law series, is a pioneering volume that comprises 19
original essays written by expert authors from across the world.
This innovative handbook offers both a history of the field of
comparative law and society and a thorough exploration of its
methods, disciplines, and major issues, presenting the most
comprehensive look into this contemporary field to date. In Part I,
Methods and Disciplines, contributors approach critical issues in
comparative law and society from a variety of academic fields,
including sociology, criminology, anthropology, economics,
political science, and psychology. This multidisciplinary approach
highlights the importance of addressing the variance of
perspectives inherent to the field. In Part II, Core Issues,
chapters offer an exploration of major legal institutions,
processes, professionals, and cultures associated with particular
legal subjects. Since authors utilize the perspective of at least
two different legal systems, this book offers a truly thorough and
wide-ranging focus. The general reader, as well as students and
scholars, will find this handbook useful in their continuing
explorations into the interaction between law and society.
Practitioners such as lawyers and judges with an interest in global
perspectives of law will also find much to admire in this
innovative volume. Contributors: M. Adler, N. Brewer, D.S. Clark,
