It is the story of the life and accomplishments of a man that had to flee Nazi brutality and found a new home in the United States. The life and the work of this exceptionally gifted scholar are vividly conveyed in a text that offers the context in which comparative law ?came of age? as a mature academic discipline. The work of Schlesinger is alive in ?The Common Core of European Private Law? where he served as an honorary editor. This book contains a foreword by Professor Ugo Mattei, who was a student of Schlesinger?s and later his successor on the Chair of Comparative Law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRUDOLF B.

The ?factual approach? he developed in the early 1960s at the Cornell seminars, and the book \u003ci\u003eComparative Law\u003c\/i\u003e, that reached its 7th edition, have set the methodological standards of the discipline worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intersentia Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042887860567,"sku":"9781839702761","price":61.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781839702761.jpg?v=1750956080","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/memories-9781839702761","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
