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,
R. Cotterrell, B.L. Cutler, T. Ginsburg, M. Goodale, C. Guarnieri,
R. Horry, B. Luppi, S.C. McCaffrey, E. Mertz, D. Nelken, F. Pakes,
M.A. Palmer, F. Parisi, J.T. Polk, J.C. Reitz, R.E. Salcido, S.
Stendahl, J.C. Suk, G.A. Tarr, S.C. Thaman, K. van Aeken, H.J.

First published in 1987, this book is an attempt to re-establish
semiotic on the basis of principles consistent with its past
history, rather than the 'cultural semiotics' of the European
tradition, and especially with the guiding ideas of Peirce and
Morris. The book is divided into two parts, with the first two
chapters providing the background for the more systematic
discussions of signs at different levels taken up in the last
three. In the final chapter issues that have become the focus of
recent philosophy of language regarding the reference, meaning, and
truth of sentences are discussed in light of the analogies to more
primitive signs developed in the preceding two chapters.

As issues in American law turn up with ever-greater frequency in
dozens of countries worldwide, some familiarity with the legal
system of the United States of America has become de rigueur for
practising lawyers everywhere. This incomparable handbook, now in
its Second Edition, provides an authoritative description of the
major elements, including all matters likely to emerge in the
course of normal legal activity. Written from a clear and cogent
comparative perspective, it is of great practical value for both
counselling and courtroom use. Eighteen lucid chapters by
distinguished American law professors, each of whom is also
knowledgeable about a legal system outside that of the United
States, explain the major laws, legal standards, and legal
institutions of the United States. Substantive and procedural
comparisons are presented in plain English, with appropriate
commentary where deemed helpful to clarify particularly complex or
unsettled matters. The resulting volume is an expert historical,
systematic, and critical introduction to the law of the United
States.
