This book is part of the Global Issues Series. Each book in this series contains materials designed to facilitate the introduction of international, transnational and comparative law issues into basic law school courses.The goal of this series is to ensure that all law school graduates have sufficient familiarity with the growing impact of non-domestic sources of law, and the growing potential for transnational legal transactions and disputes, to function in an era of increasing globalization. In addition, introduction of international, transnational and comparative law materials can enhance the students' understanding of domestic law.
