Recenzii

Hart deserves to be complimented for commissioning this volume which has the potential to become a salient work of reference on law reform bodies and legal reform more generally.
This collection will appeal to a variety of readers. For those working close to the Law Commissions or other reform institutions, many of the debates within the collection will be familiar, and provide an opportunity to reflect and perhaps reconsider core aspects of the reform agenda. But the collection also reaches beyond this audience to reform-minded academics and other legal experts, providing often compelling insight into the challenges facing reformers of the law, both substantive and structural.
... a lively and wide-ranging examination of fifty years of law reform ... For the contribution made by the Law Commissions, the book under review provides a fitting celebration.
[The book's] broad range of critical analysis, from both practical and academic viewpoints, repays careful study ... it definitely should find a place in every institutional law library ... It would certainly be a worthy addition to the shelves of all who are interested in the mechanics of law reform, whether they work in the sphere or are legislative drafters or have an academic appetite (its footnote references are a mine in themselves).
Read as a whole, the essayists give thoughtful accounts about the way the Commissions have gone about their work and how they have taken account of the constitutional arrangements that govern them.
