AB - 1987] BOOK REVIEWS 1942, but there are only a few slight changes: for torts, the excep­ tion of common nationality or common domicile of the tortfeasor and the victim, to the general rule of lex loci (which, according to th e draft, is the law of the state where the harm takes place, with some exceptions in favor of the law of th e place of acting). Th e book shows that the wave of codifications has not been blocked by modern American approaches which stress the need for depeqage. On the other hand, the EEC Convention on the Law Ap­ plicable to Contractual Relations, with its more flexible rules and escape clauses, reflects American theory. For family law, however, the civil law judge, the civil registrar and the notaries ask for clear- cut rules for their daily task. In this respect, th e Italian codification, taking advantage of the experiences in other civil law countries, seems to be among the most elaborate codifications of conflicts law in Europe. The question remains when the reform will become the law in Italy. SOCIALIST LAW YEARBOOK ON SOCIALIST LEGAL STUDIES. Edited by W.E. Butler. Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.: Transnational Publishers, Inc., 1986.
