Customer Reviews
Still, gentle criticism is called for. Zweigert and Kotz do not really engage with the debates surrounding the role of comparative law, nor (e.g.) exciting developemnts in European law. The work lacks the excitement of some more recent comparative law works. I can only regret the authors' decision to excise some of the more interesting elements of the book (socialist legal systems, but also the trust) in the interests of saving space.
At the end of the day, a work should be judged by what it contributes, not by what it fails to possess. This classic still contributes to our understanding of comparative legal systems, legal style, and of course the areas of private law that it subjects to scrutiny. No one interested in private law, or comparative legal systems should fail to refer to it.
