Description

---

The third edition of this concise book is mainly intended to be used as an introduction to the rules of private international law belonging to the legal system of the European Union. It provides legal practitioners with an overview of this highly complex field of law and can serve as an introductory textbook in elective undergraduate courses and master programs offered by many law schools, both to their own students and to exchange students from other countries. The book will also be useful as a springboard towards more profound studies of statutory texts, case law, and legal literature. *** Review of the First Edition: "For anyone interested in learning about the major sources of PIL in the EU, this book provides a useful overview, taking a very methodical, step-by-step look at each of the major instruments...the book is a highly useful breakdown of the relevant instruments in EU Private International Law...It is a great first attempt by Bogdan to piece together the most relevant legislation on the subject, and, to the reviewer's knowledge, the book is the only condensed textbook on EU PIL in existence." -- Jeffrey Goetz, International Law and Politics [Subject: EU Law, Private International Law]
