[Preface of the 2nd edition]
The origins of
this undertaking and this first attempt to publish a bibliography of English
language materials on Swiss law lie in first efforts to locate and efficiently
gather and present a steadily increasing amount of publications and information
on Swiss law in the English language both for academic and legal practice
purposes.
The
principal idea of this Swiss Law Bibliography is to make Swiss law and
the Swiss legal system more easily accessible for English speakers and for the
large English speaking legal community.
This Swiss
Law Bibliography comprises (i) an inventory of Swiss laws, statutes and
ordinances translated into English, (ii) a bibliography of English language
materials on Swiss law (books, commentaries, treatises, law journal articles,
reports, conference papers etc.) and (iii) a list of internet links relating to
English sources on Swiss law on the web.
It is a
compilation of information from various sources, such as library catalogues in
the U.S. and in Europe, lecturers, faculty members, deans, directors of law
institutes and institutes for comparative law from various countries and in
various legal systems, members of the Swiss Bar Association and Swiss members
of the International Bar Association, the Association Internationale des
Avocats, the Union Internationale des Avocats, the Association Suisse pour
l'Arbitrage, members of the Swiss Association of Corporate Counsels, the Swiss
Stock Exchange, members of Swiss auditing firms, trust companies and
fiduciaries, legal departments of Swiss banks and Swiss insurance companies,
the Australian-Swiss, the UK-Swiss and the US-Swiss Chambers of Commerce, the
Swiss Institute of Certified Accountants and Tax Consultants and other
organizations and individuals.
