Abstract

This study is primarily concerned with the security of transactions and contracts in contexts in which there is more than one legal system - in bijural (or multijural) societies - and with the contribution that bijural lawyers can make to the security of transactions and contracts, that is with the productivity of bijural lawyers. It is, as a consequence, focused on the demand for bijurallawyers as factor inputs in the production of contractual security and, at one remove, transaction security.1 To be in a position to proceed with this analysis, certain basic concepts must be clarified and the domain of the inquiry delineated. We devote the Introduction to these tasks.(...)
