Review :
‘Reading this edition has been both intellectually rewarding and practically useful. It updates earlier material, thus strengthening the book’s reputation as an excellent resource to use in comparative law. The author’s approach of “learning-by-doing” really does make complex issues more approachable.’ ‘This comparative law textbook is establishing itself as a classic of the 21st century.’ ‘As non-European readers, we are impressed by the book’s genuine “comparative” methodology which is not limited to the European “big three” but extends to many other jurisdictions. For example, the new Chinese Civil Code of 2021 is largely cited, the analysis such as on the battle of forms and the transfer of ownership in movable property provides a precious reference for our Chinese jurists.’ Acclaim for previous editions:

‘An excellent book and a remarkable pedagogical tool. It very convincingly makes the case for the use of comparative law and is the ideal basis for a truly comparative and transnational legal class.’ ‘The presentations are well systematized, clear, and well written. They are a pleasure to read. Students who have been taught comparative law by the book are well armed’. ‘A new feature are brief overviews of each country’s history and legal system, whenever a country appears for the first time in the case studies. This is very useful and has been done excellently in terms of style and depth. Kadner Graziano skilfully managed to find the right balance between providing too little and too much information. […] The book makes a profound contribution towards comparative scholarship in general and comparative contract law in particular.’ ‘The perfect textbook for teaching this subject and for inspiring students. The book offers the unique opportunity to understand and master the challenges of cross-border contracting, which is quintessential for legal practice in a globalized world.’ ‘Learning-by-doing, a unique and highly efficient approach for the teaching and studying of comparative contract law. The textbook presents an enormously rich and inclusive collection of national laws, international instruments and cases. A truly nice read!’
