Praised by the Wall Street Journal and many fellow Russian law experts in the 1990s as the Best in the West, Professor William Butler has played a key role in shaping legal developments in the former Soviet Union and in guiding those who practice law in that region.

Twenty-one distinguished international and comparative legal scholars, practitioners, diplomats, judges, and arbitrators from England, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine, and the United States contribute essays collected in honour of Professor William Butler, assessing his role in the development of legal doctrine, East/West academic and professional relations, legal translation, and legal scholarship generally.
