In recent years Turkey's commercial connections with the rest of
the world have grown dramatically. The relative inaccessibility of
Turkish business law to lawyers, business persons, and students
from other countries prompted the first edition of this book in
2001. This fully updated new edition reflects important changes -
notably in the areas of foreign direct investment and conflict of
laws rules - and adds additional chapters on banking law,
commercial arbitration law, and intellectual property law.
English-speaking legal practitioners and academics get an ideal
introduction to the basic institutions, principles and rules of
Turkish law in this book. Encompassing all the major fields of
legal practice, Introduction to Turkish Law provides an essential
understanding of the Turkish legal system, so that users can become
familiar with law and legal processes in Turkey and pursue further
research on specific Turkish legal matters. Twelve chapters,
written by Turkish experts in their areas of specialty, focus on
particular fields and provide also the Turkish equivalents of
English terminology. The book covers the following topics: *
sources of Turkish law; * constitutional law; * administrative law;
* legal persons and business associations; * family and inheritance
matters; * property; * obligations; * criminal law; and * the laws
of civil and criminal procedure. The sixth edition reflects the
continuing adaptation of Turkish law to international standards -
especially in light of Turkey's hopes for membership in the
European Union. These aspirations forced the Turkish lawmakers to
modify some basic laws intensively or change them entirely. A short
updated list of books and articles in English on Turkish law is
appended. This concise guide is sure to continue providing
interested parties with a speedy and reliable opening to many areas
of Turkish law they need to learn about.
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.
This text is part of a series of introductory books to the laws of
various countries. These provide academics, lawyers, businessmen,
government officials and students with a basic knowledge of legal
concepts of a particular country, in this case Hungary, with
special emphasis on practical issues. Hungary, which is the first
Eastern European country included in the series, chose a new form
of government in the early 1990s. Consequently the legal system and
the laws of the country are still in a state of adaptation in the
late 1990s. The historical connection to the Civil Law worlds
however, is enabling Hungary to overcome the legal gap caused by
political developments after the Second World War in a relatively
short period of time. The text gives a comprehensive overview of
most areas of law, from constitutional law and administrative law
to business law and labour law.
