Description: "For fifty years, the first edition of The Italian Legal System has been the gold standard among English-language works on the Italian legal system. The book's original authors, Mauro Cappelletti, John Henry Merryman, and Joseph M. Perillo, provided not only an overview of Italian law, but a definition of the field and an important contribution to comparative law scholarship. The book explains the unique 'Italian style' in doctrine, law, and interpretation, and introduces readers to Italian legal history, government, the legal profession, and civil procedure and evidence. In this fully updated and revised second edition, Michael A. Livingston, Pier Giuseppe Monateri, and Francesco Parisi describe the substantial changes in Italian law and society in the intervening five decades - including the creation and impact of the European Union, and advances in comparative law. The second edition poses timely, relevant questions of whether and to what extent the Italian style of law has survived the pressures of European unification, American influence, and the globalization of law and society"--Unedited summary from book cover.
