The study of hard cases is part and parcel of legal education in most legal cultures. With the global rise of judicial supremacy and increasing cross citation among high courts, few hard cases can be adequately examined without general theories and methods that apply to the various substantive areas of law and different jurisdictions. Nuanced, structurally grounded analyses of hard cases before the Supreme Courts of the US, Canada, UK, and the European Court of Human Rights demonstrate the value of social systems theory and a functional analytic method for transnational legal research and practice. In addition to a conceptual scheme to navigate the increasingly complex space of transnational law, the book provides a sociologically grounded account of the role of various legal doctrines in the emergent transnational order.
