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 nationâ s history and culture have influenced legislative and judicial actions. Essays also feature brief narratives depicting the impact of a countryâ s laws on individuals.
