Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a tribute by the International Association of Procedural Law to its honorary president, the late Mauro Cappelletti (1927-2004). <p class="copymedium"> Mauro Cappelletti can be considered one of the most indeed, perhaps the most outstanding scholars in the field of the judicial process in general and comparative procedural law in particular. He was professor in Firenze and in Stanford and published a large number of books and articles on civil procedural law, constitutional law, comparative law and European law. His <i> Access tot Justice-report</i> in six volumes (1978) can be considered a worldwide eye- opener to the problem of accessibility to law and courts. </p> <p class="copymedium"> Six eminent scholars (Marcel STORME, Nicolo ThOCKER, Federico CAMPI, Sir Jack JACOB, Lawrence M. FRIEDMAN and John Henry MERRYMAN) focus on Cappelletti's personality and analyse the significance of his scientific work. An unpublished lecture by Mauro Cappelletti and a selected bibliography close this book. </p> <p> </p>
