REVIEW (Juris Diversitas Series): A Study of Mixed Legal Systems: Endangered, Entrenched or Blended

This review just appeared in the Journal of Legal Pluralism: 'This book's collection of interesting case studies of hybrid legal systems not only provides us useful insights regarding the ongoing process of mixing in general, but also in reference to the particular cases presented. It, therefore, is an important addition to the literature on mixed legal systems and comparative law in general, and will undoubtedly prove a boon to further research.'

The following message comes from the Journal of Legal Pluralism:

Dear Colleagues:

I am pleased to inform you that the Journal of Legal Pluralism is now publishing with Taylor & Francis, beginning in January 2013.

As the pioneering journal in the field of legal pluralism, The Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law (JLP) has a long history of publishing leading scholarship in the area of legal anthropology and legal pluralism and is the only international journal dedicated to the analysis of legal pluralism. It is a refereed scholarly journal with a genuinely global reach, publishing both empirical and theoretical contributions from a variety of disciplines, including (but not restricted to) Anthropology, Legal Studies, Rural Sociology, Development Studies and interdisciplinary studies. The JLP is devoted to scholarly writing and works that further current debates in the field of legal pluralism and to disseminating new and emerging findings from fieldwork. The Journal welcomes papers that make original contributions to understanding any aspect of legal pluralism and unofficial law, anywhere in the world, both in historic and contemporary contexts. We invite high-quality, original submissions that engage with this purpose. We also invite special thematic issues.

In pursuit of the publication of high-quality articles, the Journal has adopted the following editorial policies:

• The Journal emphasizes rapid turn around in publication. Most articles are published within four months of acceptance.
• Papers that are well-written and presented in the style of the journal are eligible for a fast track review. We strongly encourage authors to obtain help with English writing if it is not their first language, and to pay careful attention to the "Information for Contributors" which is found at the journal website (http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rjlp20/current#.UkreVrx4OfY).
• Legal professionals can report lessons from experience in working papers and short reports.
• There is a section for book reviews and the editors would welcome reviews of recent publications in the field.
