Encompassing all the major fields of legal practice, Introduction to
Turkish Law provides an essential understanding of the Turkish legal
system, so that users can become familiar with law and legal processes in
Turkey and pursue further research on specific Turkish legal matters.
Twelve chapters, written by Turkish experts in their areas of specialty, focus
on particular fields and provide also the Turkish equivalents of English
terminology. The book covers the following topics:
• sources of Turkish law; • constitutional law; • administrative law; • legal
persons and business associations; • family and inheritance matters; •
property; • obligations; • criminal law; and • the laws of civil and criminal
procedure.
The sixth edition reflects the continuing adaptation of Turkish law to
international standards – especially in light of Turkey's hopes for membership
in the European Union. These aspirations forced the Turkish lawmakers to
modify some basic laws intensively or change them entirely. A short updated
list of books and articles in English on Turkish law is appended.
This concise guide is sure to continue providing interested parties with a
