Book co-edited by Franco Ferrari wins award from the American Society of International Law

In mid-January 2018, the American Society of International Law (ASIL) announced that it would award its 2018 Certificate of Merit for High Technical Craftsmanship and Utility to Practicing Lawyers and Scholars to the Encyclopedia of Private International Law co-edited and co-authored by Professor Ferrari. In a memorandum, ASIL’s Book Awards Committee stated that “[t]he value and timeliness of this work to academics, international lawyers and others is difficult to over-state.” 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 globalization and increased regional integration. The role and character of Private International Law has changed tremendously over the past decades. And it is these changes that the Encyclopedia focuses on. 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.
