This publication is relevant to subjects or agents directly or indirectly participating to the critique of legislative rules, academics and citizens(...). The book (…) offers its readers a dual perspective of fundamental aspects in the field of Legislprudence (Legistica, Legistique) as an interdisciplinary science embracing aspects of law, economics and social sciences, with a final objective to ameliorate the quality of legislation and to facilitate its implementation.
Marta Tavares de Almeida, REVISTA DE LEGISLAÇÃO

All in all this is an impressive overview and deepening of European Legislation. The breadth, clarity, and level of academic work of this volume cannot be faulted: this is a a great editorial success in Europe! (...). Without any doubt this book raises awareness of the importance of the legislative process, incites the reader to think further, and widens the reader's horizons.The book lays the empirical and theoretical basis for legislative questions

The book presents an extremely valuable effort to cover the increasingly important ground of legislative drafting and to synthetize the essentials and recent developments of the legislative scholarship in Europe. Not only legislation scholars and experts will profit from such an effort: even more importantly, those lawyers who still confine their interest to the description and interpretation of legislation as a product may well learn in this treatise why the making and drafting of laws offers a promising field for legal research.
Klaus Meßerschmidt and Daniel Oliver-Lalana, European Review of Public Law

This is a new and fascinating book. It deserves many readers – who it will both challenge and reward.

This anthology contains a wealth of information, analysis and suggestions…It is obvious that comparison in the field of legisprudence and practice is very useful…The contributions are consistently worth reading and contribute significantly to the further development of teaching and practice in the field of legislation. (Translated from the original French)
Georg Müller, LeGes

...an ambitious and important scientific handbook, which is addressed at scholars and practitioners…at the European level it closes a gap and will find special attention due to its transnational perspective…it adds to many national Drafting Manuals in at least 2 directions: by its comparative nature as well as inclusion of legisprudence discussions…All in all: a handbook, of which one wishes to see further and expanded editions, that presents plenty of information, suggestions and scientific discoveries for readers all over Europe. (Translated from the original German)
Prof. Dr. Klaus Meßerschmidt, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Deutsches Verwaltungsblatt
