A Global Law of Jurisdiction and Judgement: Lessons from Hague: Lessons from Hague

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index / Papers presented at the symposium 'A Global Law of Jurisdiction and Judgements: Lessons from The Hague' held July 7-8, 2000, at the Centre Pantheon (University of Paris I Law Faculty). Publisher Marketing: Part I focuses on the jurisdiction provisions of the 1999 Draft Convention. The papers in Part II look to the future, though they also deal briefly with the judgments provisions of the 1999 Draft. One paper takes up changes in EU law that will significantly affect future negotiations concerning the Draft Convention. The other two offer analyses of the major hurdles blocking the way to a successful convention and proposals for vaulting those hurdles." Contributor Bio:  Clermont, Kevin M Kevin M.
