Comparative Law for Spanish–English Speaking Lawyers: Legal Cultures, Legal Terms and Legal Practices - Tapa blanda

`Insgesamt schafft das vorliegende Buch ein bemerkenswertes Novum, indem es eine Zwitterstellung zwischen den klassischen rechtsvergleichenden Werken und einem Rechtswoerterbuch einnimmt: Einerseits hat es den Charakter eines rechtsvergleichenden Handbuchs, das eine Fulle von Rechtsinstituten aus englisch- bzw. spanischsprachigen Staaten gegenuberstellt und einordnet. Andererseits ermoeglicht der bilinguale Aufbau des Buches dem Leser die UEberwindung englischer bzw. spanischer Sprachbarrieren.' -- Denise Wiedemann, The Rabel Journal of Comparative and International Private Law `This is an innovative, engaging, well-researched and rewarding book. The authors deserve praise for their monumental work, which undoubtedly will end up in the bookshelves of numerous legal professionals in every field across the globe.' -- Manuel Penades Fons, Cambridge Core `El libro de S.I. Strong, Katia Fach Gomez y Laura Carballo Pineiro sigue la estructura de algunos textos clasicos de Derecho Comparado, como los de Rudolf Schelsinger y John Henry Merryman, cotejando los elementos generales de los dos grandes sistemas juridicos del Derecho Civil y el Common Law, analizando las semejanzas y diferencias de ambos sistemas con un fin eminentemente practico: atender a las necesidades de aquellos que trabajan cruzando las fronteras linguisticas para analizar un analisis comparado.' -- Rodrigo Polanco Lazo, Universidad de Chile and Universidad de Berna, Suiza `Comparative Law for Spanish-English Speaking Lawyers is an extremely well researched and well put together book, and it will be a worthwhile investment for those attorneys who regularly conduct business with Spain and/or Mexico. Additionally, law schools with Study Abroad programs in a variety of Spanish speaking nations will find this a valuable resource, useful for preparing their students for coursework and even internships in those foreign countries.' -- Stacy Fowler, International Journal of Legal Information `This insightful book offers innovative solutions to tackle the cultural, legal and linguistic nuances which inevitably arise in international law, trade and commerce. It will also provide assistance to the international legal community by providing a greater degree of legal certainty and precision. For these reasons alone, it is a necessary addition to any bilingual (Spanish-English) practitioner's library, as well as a template for further works in other languages.' -- Gary Born, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, UK `La originalidad de su concepcion y el alto valor practico anadido a los materiales incluidos en el texto solo permiten abrigar buenos augurios. Es probable, incluso, que el libro abra una nueva modalidad para los escritos de Derecho comparado que comience a extenderse a otros binomios linguisticos, lo cual seria una excelente noticia.' -- Diego P Fernandez Arroyo, Sciences Po Law School, France `All in all, the book is a scholarly piece of work and a must-have in the Spanish-English legal translator's library.' -- The Journal of Specialised Translation
