Introduction to the Law of the United States
Introduction to the Laws.....Series Volume 5 As issues in American law turn up with ever-greater frequency in dozens of countries worldwide, some familiarity with the legal system of the United States of America has become de rigueur for practising lawyers everywhere. This incomparable handbook, now in its Second Edition, provides an authoritative description of the major elements, including all matters likely to emerge in the course of normal legal activity. Written from a clear and cogent comparative perspective, it is of great practical value for both counselling and courtroom use. Eighteen lucid chapters by distinguished American law professors, each of whom is also knowledgeable about a legal system outside that of the United States, explain the major laws, legal standards, and legal institutions of the United States. Substantive and procedural comparisons are presented in plain English, with appropriate commentary where deemed helpful to clarify particularly complex or unsettled matters. The resulting volume is an expert historical, systematic, and critical introduction to the law of the United States.
International Conflict of Laws for the Third Millennium: Essays in Honor of Friedrich K. Juenger
Few scholars have contributed more to this new and important view of conflict of laws than Professor Friedrich K. Juenger of the University of California, Davis.

The Perfection of Technology
Never has the cold, ruthlessness of the systematized, technological society been subjected to such a profound, penetrating critique as the one which Friedrich Georg Juenger (1898-1977) presents in this book?now for the first time published in English in the author?s final edition (the fourth German edition) and under its correct title. And many would claim this book?s central thesis and attendant insights, all deeply rooted in Juenger?s personal synthesis of the best traditions of European humanism, have never been refuted.?We will start from an observation which no one who has ever made it can forget,? writes Juenger. ?Is there not a direct connection between the increase in knowledge conce...

The Foundation of Choice of Law
This book focuses on the subject of choice of law as a whole and provides an analysis of its various rules, principles, doctrines and concepts. It offers a conceptual account of choice of law, called "choice equality foundation" (CEF), which aims to flesh out the normative basis of the subject. The author reveals that, despite the multiplicity of titles and labels within the myriad choice of law rules and practices of the U.S., Canadian, European, Australian, and other systems, many of them effectively confirm and crystallize CEF's vision of the subject. This alignment signifies the necessarily intimate relationship between theory and practice by which the normative underpinnings of CEF are ...
Selected Essays on the Conflict of Laws
Friedrich K. Juenger on the conflict of laws is always worth attending to. Rejecting the "conventional wisdom" that prevails in the field, he sees the conflict of laws not as a discipline devoid of substantive values but as a powerful catalyst for multistate justice. Here is a wide-ranging collection of essays on a variety of problems posed by transactions that transcend state and national borders. The essays include a comparison of jurisdiction issues in the United States and the European Communities, opinions on forum shopping, a critique of interest analysis techniques, and a plea for a comparative approach to choice-of-law issues. Invaluable studies in the extraterritorial application of United States antitrust law, recognition of foreign money judgments and divorces, and regional conventions round out the collection. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.

Beyond Territoriality
This book traces the evolution of transnational legal authority in the course of globalization. Representative case studies buttress its conclusion that today transnational authority is multifaceted, a phenomenon that renders unreliable the concepts of territoriality/extraterritoriality as global governance markers.
