'This book should be on the shelf of every serious comparative law lawyer. It pays homage to a great scholar, Esin Örücü, and her interdisciplinary approaches to comparative law. Law is on the move and there is nothing we can do to stop it; we need to embrace it. The contributions in this collection reopens old debates and conceive new ones but the end message is united; law is a messy affair and there is no one size fits all.'
Christa Rautenbach, Faculty of Law, North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa
