National monographs describe the main features of each country’s judicial organisation, the rules governing the jurisdiction of the courts, the actual court proceedings, the rules of evidence, the principles governing preliminary seizure and the enforcement of judgments, and certain elements of national arbitration. Additionally, a monograph on the European Union is included.

Each monograph follows a uniform structure and includes information on the country’s political and legal system, as well as a comprehensive analysis of relevant procedural law legislation and practice, covering procedural areas such as:

• actions and claims;
• legal aid and legal costs;
• admissibility of evidence; and
• rules of arbitration and mediation.

A subject index at the end of each monograph provides a useful and time-saving reference aid. Furthermore, a detailed topical table of contents for each monograph facilitates country-to-country and subject-to-subject comparison.

The International Encyclopaedia of Laws is peer-reviewed under the responsibility of the editors and the general editor’s office.
