The Civil Code of the Republic Uzbekistan as amended to 1 January 2023 is a central key normative legal act for foreign investors and of considerable interest to the comparative law community as a leading Central Asian model for a legal system in transition from the socialist legal tradition to a more market-oriented legal system.

Civil Code of the Republic Uzbekistan

Substantially revised and expanded, this edition contains more than 25,000 words and phrases drawn from the legislative acts, international treaties and doctrinal writings of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Unlike the great majority of other legal dictionaries, its terminological base is founded on Russian legal practice and usage. The English translations are intended to convey the literal meaning of Russian terms and minimize confusion by ascribing them, insofar as possible, to their sole or principal English equivalents.

JCL Studies in Comparative Law: Second Series

Comparative lawyers from Belarus, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and the United States explore the contributions of Eastern and Central European comparatists mostly unknown outside the region in 25 essays addressing individuals, processes and institutions from the sixteenth century to recent times. Most names will be unfamiliar to comparative lawyers not from the region; some overlap in their geographical affiliation, and the boundaries of the region itself are controversial. Several contributors give attention to Slavic law and its place within historical comparative studies. New light is cast on the development of comparative legal studies during the Soviet era and some of the principal personalities involved.

Comparative Legal Studies in Eastern and Central Europe

Discovering the Unexpected

This study, previously unknown to the world of comparative law, may be considered to be the first monograph in the world devoted to the methodology of comparative jurisprudence. Submitted in 1947 and defended as a dissertation in 1948 at the Ukrainian Free University in the Ukrainian language, the author considered comparative law to be a method. In turn, he defined "method," following other scholars, as the targeted use of a complex of means of effectuating scientific research on the basis of previously determined rules which also provide the formulation of the concepts and forming of a systemic notion about the subject-matter of the research. Especially rich in its treatment of interwar German materials, this volume is a historical landmark in the history of comparative law.

The Comparative Method in the Science of Law

The seven principal English-language versions of Grotius's classic work On the Law of War and Peace (1625) were published between 1654 and 1928. Either by design or serendipity, each of these appeared on the eve of, during, or immediately after a major international conflict. All major achievements in their time, they expressed an overriding conviction that Grotian insights would enlighten present-day readers and help to lessen the incidence and horrors of armed conflict. Drawing upon archival sources never used previously, this study considers the history of these translations and their different approaches to Grotius's complicated text. viii, 162, [8] pp.
