With the official launch reception only a couple of weeks away, the latest edition of the one of the world's foremost authorities on private international law is now available for purchase. First published in 1896, Dicey, Morris & Collins, The Conflict of Laws is in its 14th edition. The editors of this seminal work are:

  • General Editor: The Hon Mr Justice Lawrence Collins
  • Editor: Professor C G J Morse
  • Editor: Professor David McClean
