Posted on March 19, 2018

The Faculty of Law at the University of Pretoria is proud to announce that Prof Elsabe Schoeman in its Department of Private Law has contributed to the Encyclopedia of Private International Law which has recently won the 2018 American Society of International Law (ASIL) Certificate of Merit for High Technical Craftsmanship and Utility to Practicing Lawyers and Scholars

According to publishers Edward Elgar, the Encyclopedia of Private International Law is a definitive reference work in the field. Bringing together 195 authors from 57 countries the Encyclopedia sheds light on the current state of Private International Law around the globe, providing unique insights into the discipline and how it is affected by globalisation and increased regional integration.

The role and character of Private International Law has changed tremendously over the past decades. With the steady increase of global and regional inter-connectedness the practical significance of the discipline has grown. And so has the number of legislative activities on the national, international and, most importantly, the European level.

The Encyclopedia is a rich and varied resource in four volumes. The first two volumes provide comprehensive coverage of topical aspects of Private International Law in the form of 247 alphabetically arranged entries. The third volume provides insightful detail on the national Private International Law regimes of 80 different countries. The fourth volume presents invaluable, and often unique, English language translations of the national codifications and provisions of Private International Law in those countries.
