for bringing this excellent collection of papers to the attention
of a wider audience.
*Trust Law Quarterly (STEP)*
In Current Issues in Succession Law, we find 11 essays that canvass
a diverse array of problems in English succession law ... the
doctrinal focus of the volume brings into sharp relief a striking
familiarity across the essays in the basic problems they confront
... The volume will ... be of interest to succession scholars in
other jurisdictions for contrast and comparison.
*The Cambridge Law Journal*
... for practitioners in the south of Britain and also those
interested in recent developments there, all the most important
issues are very well covered and considered ... I look forward very
much to the next conference and the follow up volume.
*European Property Law Journal*
... an excellent book both as a reference work for students and
practitioners and also of interest to the wider public who may be
drawn in by the subject matter.
*The Denning Law Journal*
The relevance of this work to the current law of succession cannot
be overemphasised and, despite its accessible size and small
stature, is a compilation of the highest standard ... at the very
least, a work worthy of digestion by any student of the law or
prospective creator of a testamentary disposition ... Put simply,
this is one not to be missed.
*Trust Law International*
The editors are to be congratulated on assembling the impressive
list of contributing authors. The book offers high-quality analysis
on a wide range of issues of importance in the modern English law
of succession. It is highly recommended to practitioners and
scholars with an interest in the area, as well as to university
libraries.
