Comparative law
Bazyler M.,Comparative Law: Global Legal Traditions explores four legal traditions from around the world, both Western (German civil law and English com- mon law) and non-Western (Chinese law and Islamic law). The book opens by focusing on European-based civil law, represented by German law, before moving on to the common law legal tradition seen in English law. Some comparative law casebooks and study guides stop with Western law but Global Legal Traditions continues by turning to the study of a secular non-European legal tradition by examining Chinese law, or more specifically the law of the People's Republic of China. The book's final section covers the non-state, religion-based legal tradition found in Islamic law, both in its pre-state form and how Islamic law manifests itself within the confines of sovereign state powers. Each part contains seven chapters intended to enable students to draw comparisons and make distinctions between the legal traditions under review. Each part includes five chapters covering common topics: history and development of the legal tradition; political process; judicial process; legal actors and legal education; and civil law. The remaining two chapters for each part focus on a legal subject most relevant to that legal tradition.

Securities law
Nicholls Ch.C.,Canadian securities law consists of an enduring core of fundamental principles that are refined, and sometimes shrouded, by a complex and constantly evolving body of technical details. This third edition, written by Christopher Nicholls- one of Canada's foremost corporate and securities law experts-provides a solid grounding in the core securities law principles and helps the reader navigate the complex labyrinth of modern securities regulation. Securities Law surveys the essential building blocks of securities regulation: basic definitions, the public and exempt markets for securities, insider trading, continuous disclosure, enforcement, regulation of dealers and other securities industry professionals, and take-over and issuer bids. Discussion of these subjects is interwoven with thoughtful consideration of larger public policy issues. This book also explores the history of securities regulation and several recent topics, including, among others, the stalled initiatives aimed at trying to create a national cooperative capital market regulatory system in Canada; developments affecting dealers, including the recent consolidation of Canada's two national securities industry self-regulatory organizations; the impact of the 2021 Capital Markets Modernization Taskforce Report; the changes introduced in Ontario by the Securities Commission Act, 2021; and the ongoing challenges posed by increasing shareholder activism and technological advances, including the regulatory challenges posed by cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.
