European judicial cooperation in cross-border litigation

There is an increasing amount of European legislation in procedural matters, with which legal practitioners from EU member States (and beyond) must deal on a daily basis. This book is designed to introduce, in institutional ways, law students to such legislation, in order to make future legal practitioners alert to the coexistence, in the discipline of civil procedure, in addition to the classic domestic sources, of European sources having an increasingly relevant impact. Awareness should be fostered that the issues, invested by the European legislation, touch on the common and daily development of civil proceedings and that, therefore, they no longer represent a niche for some, but must enter the basic knowledge of all. Designed for students, the book is also aimed at professionals, for an initial approach to the topics at issue, providing an articulate bibliography and the main case-law references for further study. Paolo Biavati is a professor at the University of Bologna. He teaches civil procedural law. Michele Angelo Lupoi is a professor at the University of Bologna.
