NOTICE: Adams and Bomhoff on Practice and Theory in Comparative Law
As part of a bumper crop of comparative collections, readers will want to look out for Maurice Adams and Jacco
Bomhoff (eds), Practice and Theory in
Comparative Law (2012):
What does doing comparative law involve? Too
often, explicit methodological discussions in comparative law remain limited to
the level of pure theory, neglecting to test out critiques and recommendations
on concrete issues. This book bridges this gap between theory and practice in
comparative legal studies. Essays by both established and younger comparative
lawyers reflect on the methodological challenges arising in their own work and
in work in their area. Taken together, they offer clear recommendations for,
and critical reflection on, a wide range of innovative comparative research
projects.
