This volume examines whether contemporary parliaments use foreign and comparative law in the legislative process. The research reports covered in the book apply the same methodological approach, focusing on the information apparatus available to the legislators, and on the rules and practices that regulate the drafting and approval of bills. Subsequently, it examines several examples of recent legislation in which foreign law has been taken into consideration: in an explicit or implicit way, in order to be accepted or refused, according to a mere instrumental aim or following a rigorous compar

Drafting Legislation sets out to prove Sir William Dale's doctrine that the rules for drafting good quality legislation are the same in common and civil systems of law. The book discusses the general issue of quality in legislation from the legislative process to the actual drafting interpretation and enforcement, as well as issues of clarity, precision and disambiguity, plain language and gender-neutral language.

Who are the legislators and what are the products of the legislative process in China? How does a law come into being? What meaning should we ascribe to these legislative products from the perspective of legal certainty? Can we recognise a Chinese approach to or style of law-making? What technical legislative problems have Chinese jurists identified and what sorts of solutions to them are being considered? These are the questions which Law-making in the PRC attempts to solve. The volume opens with papers on the historical perspective of law-making, on ideology and law-making, and on a comparison between the PRC's legal framework and the frameworks of other legal systems. Part II deals with various `Institutions and Actors' involved, and offers analyses of the National People's Congress, the State Council, departmental rule-making, local law-making, law-making in autonomous regions, public participation, and the proposed law on law-making by academics. Part III offers three `case studies' in which important areas of legal development are analysed from a law-making point of view. The selected areas are administrative law, contract law, and criminal law.
