ABSTRACT
In the 1990s, it was said that there was ‘very little systematic writing about the methods of comparative law’ (Merryman 1999: 3) and that the comparative methodology was ‘still at the experimental stage’ (Zweigert and Kötz 1998: 33). However, this has changed to a significant degree: recent years have seen the publication of a number of new books about the comparative method of law (Husa 2015; Siems 2014; Samuel 2014) with a common core of themes emerging that most of these books discuss.
