Patrick Glenn<br />2. John H Langbein<br />3. Werner Menski<br />4. David Nelken<br />5. Esin Örücü<br />6. Vernon Palmer<br />7. Rodolfo Sacco<br />8. Boaventura de Sousa Santos<br />9. Charles Taylor<br />10. William Twining<br />11. Gordon Woodman<br /><br />Note that this was done quickly and was limited to the living. Note, too, that I'd have them gather in Rome at a restaurant frequented by other legal anthropologists, historians, philosophers, sociologists, etc.<br /><br />I've been fortunate enough to meet (and sometimes even dine with) several of these individuals, most recently with Esin Örücü.

I think that one of the essentials in the list has to be An Introduction to Comparative Law (Oxford 1998) by Konrad Zweigert, Hein Koetz, and Tony Weir. As a general treatment of comparative law, it stands apart due to the breadth of its coverage and the attention it gives to the rationale underlying comparative analysis. But I have more area-specific favorites such as Jacqueline Hodgson’s book entitled French Criminal Justice: A Comparative Account of the Investigation and Prosecution of Crime in France (Hart 2005). Similarly, regarding Middle Eastern legal systems, Chibli Mallat has a great book entitled Introduction to Middle Eastern Law (Oxford 2009) which offers a focused overview of that region. On a related note, Professor Mallat has also recently published a fascinating book on Iraqi law entitled Iraq: Guide to Law & Policy (Aspen 2009) which gives the most comprehensive treatment of Iraqi law to date. Any one of these would be great to have if stranded on that hypothetical island.Dan E. Stigallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16880724483574722977noreply@blogger.com
