'Partly Laws Common to All Mankind' - Foreign Law in American Courts

Zusammenfassung Should judges in United States courts be permitted to cite foreign laws in their rulings? This book explores jurisprudential ideas that could underlie the Supreme Court's occasional recourse to foreign law, especially in constitutional cases, and argues that societies are governed partly by their own laws and partly by laws common to all mankind.
