Legal Issues Across the Globe is an academic series showcasing the diversity of legal approaches to issues making headlines worldwide. Each chapter is devoted to a single topic and presents twelve country essays examining how the nation's history and culture have influenced legislative and judicial actions. Essays also feature brief narratives depicting the impact of a country's laws on individuals. Equally weighted discussions for each nation yield a panoramic view of the issue and invite the reader to compare and contrast the various stances taken. Boasting contributions from an international cast of law-school faculty, the series provides contextual legal content that supports collegiate global studies curriculum.
