🚨🚨 GIVE AWAY ALERT 🚨🚨 The wonderful Jen Hendry (文林言) and I have received our first author copies of 'Legal Pluralism: New Trajectories in Law' from Routledge Law. We are, as a result, running a prize draw! (Instructions below.)

I understand that this book now exists in physical form. It reflects years of collective reflections with a fabulous group of co-authors: Hugh Collins, ACL Davies. Virginia Mantouvalou. I hope the reading of it is as enjoyable as the writing of it.
