This carefully structured, practice-orientated textbook provides everything the law student needs to know about international commercial litigation. The strong comparative component provides a thought-provoking international perspective, while at the same time allowing readers to gain unique insights into litigation in English courts. Three important themes of the book analyse how the international element may call into question the power of the court to hear the case, whether it should exercise this power, whether foreign law applies, and whether the court should take into account any foreign judgment. Hartley provides the reader with extracts from leading cases and relevant legislation, together with an extensive reference library of further reading for those who wish to explore the topic in more detail, making this a valuable, single-source textbook. International commercial litigation is an area where the law changes fast. To keep the book up to date, new material will be posted on the book’s website, www.cambridge.org/thartley/. This will cover both cases and legislation. Trevor C. Hartley is Professor of Law Emeritus at the London School of Economics, where he specializes in private international law and European Community law.

In keeping with NIJ's mission of generating research-based knowledge that can inform policy and benefit practitioners, this Research Report presents a broad-based collection of papers representative of NIJ's portfolio of gang-related research. It emphasizes program evaluation. Evaluations often indicate the efficacy and/or shortcomings of a program; in either case, the information can be applied by those seeking solutions to similar problems. The Report examines gang-related field, survey, and records research in the interest of gender, race/ethnicity, and criminal justice system interventions.
