Scholarship, Practice and Education in Comparative Law
This book examines how law functions in a multitude of facets and dimensions. The contributions shed light on the study of comparative law in legal scholarship, the relevance of comparative law in legal practice, and the importance of comparative law in legal education. The book will particularly appeal to those engaged in the teaching and scholarship of comparative law, and those seeking to uncover the various significant dimensions of the workings of law. The book is organised in three parts. Part I addresses scholarship, with contributors examining comparative legal issues as critique and from a theoretical framework. Part II outlines practice, with contributors discussing the function of comparative law in such comparatively diverse areas as international arbitration, environment, and the rule of law. Part III appraises comparative law in education.

It draws attention to the dimensions of conscious action in inter- and trans-national phenomena, connecting globalisation with individuals’ experience of everyday life.

The chapters focus on educational, leisure and cultural activities, fields which are often overlooked in favour of economic and political developments in the literature.

Covering 137 towns and comprising 14,333 typed pages, this magnificent collection of birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of General Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. Through the year January 2002, our compilers have transcribed about eighty percent of the Barbour Collection, spanning the towns of Andover through Thompson, in 46 separate volumes. Book by book, the record entries in this series are arranged in strict alphabetical order by town and give name, date of event, names of parents, names of both spouses, and sometimes such items as age, occupation, and specific place of residence. Compiler Marsha Carbaugh's latest contribution to the Barbour Collection encompasses the Connecticut towns of Torrington, Union, and Voluntown and refers to about 22,000 individuals.
