This book introduces the reader to the various legal systems in Europe, acting as a first exposure to foreign law before further study/practice of a particular legal system/subject area. The structure and contents of the book describe a full circle, linking the common roots of the different systems, then noting their diversities, before returning to a possible new form of unity. The book includes illustrative material where necessary.;Although intended for students, this book should be useful for practitioners as it provides them with the policy, rather than the substantive, view.
