About this book:

Introduction to Dutch Law, a standard legal resource since its first edition in 1978, has been a nonpareil and an ideal overview of Dutch law for foreign lawyers. This sixth edition, prepared under the auspices of the Netherlands Comparative Law Association, refreshes its systematic description of the legal sources, institutions, and concepts in all major fields of law. Recent developments covered include the progressive implementation of standards set by international conventions, the reorganization of the judiciary, the statute on environmental law, and the (re)codification of private international law. The ongoing influence of European law, perhaps most notably in family law, is apparent in many fields.

What’s in this book:

Scholars and lawyers in particular fields have contributed to writing the various chapters and provided an authoritative overview of each field. The following topics have been elucidated in the book:
- historical sources of Dutch law;
- Dutch legal culture, legal philosophy, judicial organization, legal education, and the legal profession;
- introductions to essential issues of private and public law and labour law; and
- financial law.
How this will help you:

This first-of-its-kind book is unparalleled as a thorough guide to further research. It furnishes practitioners, particularly foreign lawyers, a quick and reliable way into any area of Dutch law that they may be required to research. It will also be highly appreciated by comparatists (especially those studying the influence of European law on national legal systems), scholars and students.
