Vinogradoff Institute (University College, London)'s Books

Uzbekistan was the first of the CIS countries to formulate and adopt a new Civil Code. The initial Civil Code came into force on March 1, 1997. Although based largely on the Russian Civil Code, the Uzbekistan Code has evolved its own distinct characteristics. This edition of William E. Butler's expert translation contains the latest revisions up to August 15, 1999.

This volume contains the revisions up to August 15, 1999 to Parts One and Two, often referred to as the `General Part', of the Russian Civil Code. William E. Butler's expert translation presents a clear interpretation of this vital text for all involved in Russian legal and commercial matters. As the Russian Civil Code is often the standard model for the other CIS states, amendments to this legislation are important to monitor.

Pavil Gavrilovich, later Sir Paul, Vinogradoff [1854-1925] is well known in Russia principally as a historian and abroad as a legal historian and comparative lawyer. Few in either Russia or abroad are aware that Vinogradoff also wrote on public international law. This volume collects four of his most important contributions to this field: The Legal and Political Aspects of the League of Nations (1918), The Reality of the League of Nations (c. 1919), The Covenant of the League: Great and Small Powers (1919) and History of the Law of Nations, a series of six lectures delivered at the University of Leiden in 1921.

Traces the history of the decay of Roman law and its revival in France, England and Germany in a series of lectures given at the University of London by the noted scholar Sir Paul Vinogradoff. 136 pp.

A collection of English translations (compiled, edited and translated by William E. Butler) of the main laws underlying the development of democracy and a market economy in Tajikistan.

The most comprehensive collection of Russian legal materials ever produced in the English language on Russian public law, this volume contains sixty-two enactments and documents, some unpublished even in the Russian language, in force and devoted to the constitutional foundations of the Russian Federation, publication of legislation, human rights, the Russian Presidency; Parliament, Government, and judicial system, domestic and international arbitration, courts of all types, justices of the peace, and the legal profession;, broadly defined. In this volume the legal profession encompasses the advocate, juris-consult, notary, procurator, and law enforcement personnel, including private detectives. Particular attention is given to documents which regulate the internal workings of the Russian presidency;, parliament, government, and Constitutional Court in the form of 'reglaments' and the judiciary generally.

This important volume contains an extensive collection of Uzbekistan legal texts translated and edited by the eminent scholar William E. Butler. All material is translated anew and is prefaced by an introductory note on the legislative history of each enactment and by a contextual observation. The documents translated in this volume have been chosen for their fundamental importance in understanding the Uzbekistan State structure and legal system. All are in force, and there is a strong emphasis on those enactments of key importance to the foreign investor. The broad scope of this work will provide the practitioner, legal scholar, government legal adviser, and student with an excellent reference tool for understanding contemporary Uzbekistan legal structures. This is the third volume in the CIS Legal Texts Series edited by William E. Butler.

This volume contains the Turkmenistan Civil Code as adopted in December 1998. The translation by William E. Butler is based on the official text and any differences with the Russian language version are noted in footnote annotations. The Turkmenistan Civil Code is unique in the CIS for incorporating as part of its official title the name of the President of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Turkmenbashi. This gives the Civil Code a special symbolic value in the hierarchy of sources of Turkmenistan Law. Another important feature of the Civil Code is its lack of a section devoted to private international law, or `conflicts of law'. Until this position is rectified or clarified, Turkmenistan law is the sole applicable law.
