Conference:
Medical Malpractice and Compensation in Global Perspective, December 3-4, 2010

This conference jointly organized by the Chicago-Kent Law Review and the Institute for European Tort Law, in collaboration with ECTIL, will address liability for medical malpractice and compensation for medical injuries from 14 national and regional perspectives drawn from 6 continents. This is an excellent opportunity to gain a broader perspective on a common problem in many legal systems and the many solutions adopted. It offers a truly global comparative analysis.

Festschrift für Helmut Koziol

Helmut Koziol has recently been honoured on the occasion of his 70th birthday with a Festschrift published by Jan Sramek Verlag.

The work covers more than 1500 pages with contributions from 80 scholars in 5 areas comprising, general private law, liability law, banking law, insolvency law and legal methodology. As such it represents a valuable contribution to these diverse fields and a suitably scholarly celebration of Helmut Koziol's career thus far. Finally, the works included are not only representative of different legal fields but also hail from many different systems across Europe and beyond and in doing so, demonstrate the international and comparative nature of these legal problems.
