The comparison of legal systems has for a long time been an
essential branch of legal research and jurisprudence. It has become even more
important and relevant in our era of globalization, an era in which there is no
field of law that can base its knowledge exclusively on national ideas and
rules of procedure. Peter Gottwald sees the comparison of legal systems leading
“not only to a better knowledge of foreign law but also corresponding to the
internationalization of law and jurisprudence, and the globalization of
politics, of trade, commerce and private life style.” (Comparative Civil
Procedure. 22 Ritsumeikan Law Review, 23 (2005).
The first
part of this guide lists: general works of comparative civil procedure; basic
books about the civil and common-law systems; and encyclopedias and treatises
covering several jurisdictions. The remainder of the guide is arranged by country.
Depending upon the country, the sources listed may be in English or in the
vernacular (or both in some cases). Under “Primary Sources” are listed codes of
civil procedure and civil procedure statutes and, for civil law jurisdictions,
basic treatises and commentaries. Under “Secondary Sources” are listed
monographs, treatises and commentaries (for common law jurisdictions), which
may also contain the text of civil procedure code sections and statutes. The
section on “Secondary Sources” also contains collected jurisprudence, as well
as a few journals. In order to locate titles in particular libraries, it is
advisable to search online library catalogs or, for an overall search, the WorldCat. WESTLAW and LEXIS-NEXIS are also recommended. Please refer to
the online directories for each service to determine the exact dates covered by
these databases. For WESTLAW, the database identifier is always given. For
LEXIS-NEXIS, the Library name is given, followed by the File Name, as in this
example: INTLAW--AUSLAW. (For LEXIS-NEXIS, where multiple Libraries--Files are
given, they all contain the same database.)
There are
also files maintained by Mirela Roznovschi. These files provide links to Civil Codes, Civil Procedure and
Jurisprudence.
The outline of this site is attached at the end of the guide. In addition,
whenever a paper source has an electronic equivalent, the hot link has been
added for instant access. Codes, commentaries, and basic treatises for jurisdictions
using languages other than English are cited most of the time in the vernacular
language of the country. News reports are an excellent source of information
about recent developments in the law of other countries. Although they do not
generally contain the text of a new law, they may note the circumstances of its
adoption, summarize it, and provide a citation to a source leading to the full
text.

Civil Litigation in Comparative Context. Edited by Oscar Chase, Helen Hershkoff, Linda Silberman, Yasuhei Taniguchi, Vincenzo Varano, Adrian A. S. Zuckerman. St. Paul: Thomson/West, 2007. Law professors from four different nations (i.e. England, Italy, Japan, and the United States), collaborated on this book, which explains, explores, and evaluates major civil litigation systems in the contemporary world. Surprisingly enough, the differences among the civil procedure regimes around the world are often greater than those of substantive law. This is probably the most comprehensive and up-to-date scholarly work in the field, covering comparative structure of the legal profession, organization of the courts, rules of evidence as well as torts, remedies, enforcement of judgments and transnational litigation. It provides a very original and meaningfull approach of the harmonization of civil procedures prospects and perils.

3. National Codes, Statutes and Commentaries
Civil Procedure
has traditionally been governed by lex fori (the law of the state where the
proceedings take place). Therefore, primary and secondary sources for this
subject should be researched by jurisdiction. The comparative dimension is
implicit in this approach. But there are also, especially lately, more and more
explicit works of comparative civil procedure. It is true that, for a long
period of time, we witnessed resistence against such works. Some scholars
claimed that the character of lex fori or lois politiques is not transferable
from one country to another. The attempt to use foreign procedural models would
have been, then, a misuse of comparative law. As Gottwald (loc. Cit, p. 24)
very well notices: “If this opinion were true civil procedure would be the only
branch of law not open for comparative studies. Just the opposite is true.
Since 1950 twelve World Congresses of Procedural Law were organized dealing
with nearly all essential subjects and problems of procedural law”.
The best
source for a substantial outline of more than twenty jurisdictions is:
International Encyclopaedia of Laws. Civil Procedure. Ed. by Paul Lemmens. Deventer: Kluwer Law and Taxation, 1994-. Loose-leaf. 4 volumes. So far the following countries are covered: Australia, Austria, Canada, P.R. of China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Lithuania, Morocco, Peru, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, U.S.A., and Venezuela. For each country the authors use a slightly similar structure: delimitation of the subject mater, sources of civil procedure law, judicial organization, the legal profession, the courts, jurisdiction, proceedings, evidence, enforcement of judgments, and arbitration. For each monographic study there is a bibliography and an index. See the online version of the IEL Civil Procedure. Updating is done when needed (i.e., when critical changes occur).
Another
valuable source, especially from the bibliographic viewpoint, is: Foreign
Law: current sources of codes and basic legislation in jurisdictions of the
world. Edited by Tom Reynolds and Arthuro Flores. Loose-leaf. Littleton,
Colo.: Rothman, 1989-. The service is updated when needed and covers the
following regions and jurisdictions: Andean Community, Anguilla, Antigua and
Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands,
Canada, Caribbean, Cayman Island, Central America, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands,
Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Latin America, Mexico,
Montserrat, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Cristopher-Nevis (St.
Kitts), St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Surinam, Trinidad and
Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, Uruguay, and Venezuela (in volume I).
Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Bulgaria, Channel Islands,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, European Union, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy,
Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom,
Uzbekistan, Yugoslavia (in volumes II, II-A, and II-B). Algeria, Angola, Benin,
Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad,
Congo, People’s Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana,
Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania,
Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal,
Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somali Republic, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo,
Tunisia, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe (in volume III). Afghanistan,, Australia,
Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, China People’s Republic, Hong Kong, India,
Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Republic of (South Korea),
Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Oman, Pakistan, Papua New
Guinea, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Syria, Taiwan,
Thailand, Tuvalu, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, Vietnam (in volume II-A). The
service can be used for updating information, as there is also an online version. Civil
Procedure topics are covered for each country under the following headings:
Civil Procedure, Administration of Justice, Evidence, and Conflict of Laws. The
authors provide citation to codes, official gazettes, statutory instruments,
and regulatory material, in the vernacular and, when available, in English or
French translations.
