This book is a detailed treatment of the Russian legal system written especially for English-speaking law students and lawyers. While it is designed primarily as a casebook, it will also be useful as a reference for scholars specializing in Russian and East European area studies and for lawyers bound for practice in Russia.
The cooperation of U.S. lawyers who are specialists in Russian law and a Russian lawyer assure that the book retains all the subtleties of Russian law, while presenting a frame of reference and approach familiar to the American law student and lawyer.
