The second edition of this highly acclaimed text, first published in English in 1977, is an invaluable introduction to comparative law. The authors cover all angles of the subject from the general concept, functions, and history of comparative law to more sophisticated aspects of contract and tort law.

An Introduction to Comparative Law first appeared in two volumes in 1987. Volume I discussed the nature of comparative law and then concentrated on a survey of the main features of the major groupings of the world's legal systems. Volume II focused on contract, tort, and unjust enrichment as major departments of private law. Now published for the first time in paperback, the two volumes have been combined into one to provide a comprehensive guide to the relationship between the world's legal systems.

Introduction to Comparative Law

In this book, Wieacker tells us the story of European Legal Thought. He begins in the high middle ages and describes how the Glossators started to apply methodical criticism and exegesis to the digest of Justinian, thus creating European jurisprudence. In telling the history of European legal thinking from its origins in Medieval Bologna down to the present day, Wieacker's is a quite stunning achievement. It thus eluciates the intellectual conditions for the development of law within Europe. Another great strength of the book lies in the elucidation of the constant interaction between legal thinking and the general philosophical ideas of the time: Scholasticism and Medieval Legal Science, Enlightenment and the Law of Reason, of Classicism (as well as Romanticism), and Savigny's Historical School. It is hardly surprising therefore that a work of such ambition and erudition should have becomes a classic though it is surprising that it has never before been translated into English. Now, thanks to Mr Weir's brilliant translation, the book will become accessible to English-speaking scholars the world over.

Broad in scope, this first volume of two examines the various contract rules of several different European jurisdictions, including the most important civilian systems as well as English common law, and attempts to articulate general principles that are shared by all of these. While this first volume analyzes the general principles of European contract law, the second will examine the specifics of various rules. Together, these volumes will be invaluable to scholars and practitioners in Europe and beyond.

Weir's three lectures deal with liability in tort for intentionally inflicted loss and are characterized by a very unusual combination of bold leading statements and multi-layered supporting analyses.

An Introduction To Comparative Law

The book first discusses the nature of Comparative Law, its functions, aims, methods and history, then it surveys the main features of the major legal families of the world.

Koetz, Hein

The second edition of An Introduction to Tort Law offers a clear exposition to the rapidly developing law of tort in Britain. For those coming to the subject for the first time it provides a succinct and thoughtful overview; ideal as an introduction, it will also be of use and interest to those engaged in the course or completing it, for it pulls themes together, illustrates important distinctions and provokes reflection on what has already been learnt. Many of the areas subjected to analysis and discussion are highly topical, such as the invasion of the privacy of celebrities, and liability for medical mishaps and industrial diseases. On these and many other subjects of relevance in modern society, Weir's comments act as a springboard for further study and reflection, as well as presenting an authoritative overview, enlivened by a fascinating and critical commentary, of the present situation and how we reached it. The second edition naturally includes recent developments in tort law, the most significant of which is doubtless the incorporation into English law of the European Convention on Human Rights.This has not only affected the outcome in a number of cases, but also brought about changes in our vocabulary, interpretation of enactments, and treatment of precedent, which are rather less easily documented.
