Reihe: Yearbook of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law

The latest volume of the Yearbook of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law, the flagship publication of the Centre of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law (CIMEL) at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, marks this remarkable institution's 10th anniversary, observed on the 4th of December 2000. Promoting CIMEL's objective of the study and understanding of Islamic law all over the world, with emphasis on modern Middle East legal systems, individually and comparatively, the Yearbook continues to provide both a focus and a forum for work on and with these laws, and, in an increasingly interdependent world, to operate as a scholarly legal bridge for research and practice at the crossroads of Islam, the Middle East and the West. It has taken its place as the leading annual publication in the field, covering some 20 Arab countries as well as other Islamic countries. Under the able editorship of Judge Eugene Cotran and former co-editor Chibli Mallat, the Yearbook has swiftly become a well-established and authoritative legal and academic periodical, attracting important contributions from many of the world's pre-eminent legal practitioners and academics in the field of Islamic and Middle Eastern law.
