Trade Review

"This very significant textbook fills a gap that law and society teachers have perceived for a long time. It usefully presents theory and observation as intrinsically connected and acknowledges the importance of observation for the sake of theorizing. The volume is valuable and will certainly arouse interest in the field."—Vincenzo Ferrari, University of Milan
"Law in Many Societies is an exciting and unique cross-national collaboration reflecting current global concerns and influences. Distinctive in its presentation of materials that highlight law and society organizations, networks, and publications around the world, it promises to make a strong impact within the United States and beyond."—David M. Engel, State University of New York, University at Buffalo
"This stimulating volume is a real winner. With smart ideas, sharp editors, and top-rate scholarly contributions, it shines as an important contribution to the law and society and comparative law literature."—Eric Feldman, University of Pennsylvania
