Whilst courts previously only made use of comparative law exceptionally, foreign sources are now increasingly becoming a source of law in regular use in supreme and constitutional courts. There is considerable variation between the practice of courts in this field, and methods also remain controversial. In the US, the issue has been one of public debate, and it is still one of the major dividing issues in the discussion about the role of the courts. This book offers a detailed analysis of the relevant law and jurisprudence in this area which will have a practical impact.
