'Armed mainly with tremendous scholarly energy, the University of
Washington has developed into the premier center of Asian legal
studies in North America. This volume is a tribute to the breadth
and depth of activity at the Asian Law Center over its first five
decades, and a treasure trove of substantive insights into
comparative law in Asia. As Asian law continues to attract more
attention around the world, we must all be grateful for the
contributions of the innovators who built the field.' - Tom
Ginsburg, University of Chicago Law School, US 'Professors Haley
and Takenaka have put together a wonderfully eclectic collection of
essays to commemorate the founding of the Asian Law Center at the
University of Washington School of Law in 1964. Written by leaders
in their respective fields, the essays, which explore legal
developments, innovations and transplants in Japan and its
neighbours, will appeal to scholars and students of Japanese law,
as well as comparative lawyers with an interest in Asian law.' -
Jean Ho, National University of Singapore 'For fifty years now, the
University of Washington's Asian Law Center has stood at the center
of American scholarship on Japanese law. Its scholars have
consistently produced the very best work in the field, and men and
women associated with it have increasingly turned their attention
to other legal systems in Asia as well. In this broad-ranging
volume, the contributors explore the intriguing connections among
the many legal systems at stake. They have produced a tantalizing
blend of analytical depth and geographical breadth.' - J. Mark
Ramseyer, Harvard Law School, US Legal Innovations in Asia explores
how law in Asia has developed over time as a result of judicial
interpretation and innovations drawn from the legal systems of
foreign countries. Expert scholars from around the world offer a
history of law in the region while also providing a wider context
for present-day Asian law. The contributors share insightful
perspectives on comparative law, the role of courts, legal
transplants, intellectual property, Islamic law and other issues as
they relate to the practice and study of law in Japan, China,
Taiwan, Korea and Southeast Asia. Students and scholars of Asian
law will find this a timely and fascinating read, as will legal
practitioners and colleagues of the Asian Law Center. Contributors:
