(Current Update Release 82)
Now under the editorship of Academician William E. Butler, the Second Series of the looseleaf service established by John N. Hazard (1909-96) and Vratislav Pechota (d. 2005), both at Columbia University, completely supersedes the initial series. All materials in the First Series are now of archival value and should be retained for that purpose.
The Second Series differs from its predecessor in two key respects. First, all texts in the Second Series have been translated by the Editor. Second, the subject order of the Second Series is more detailed, although identical for each of the twelve jurisdictions concerned.
The translations are based on English-language equivalents drawn from the Editor's more than forty years of experience in producing scholarly translations of Soviet, Russian, and other CIS legal materials in the English language, including as Editor of the quarterly journal Soviet Statutes and Decisions, as founder and editor of the quarterly law review Sudebnik (1996-2007), and as editor of the twice-yearly journal Russian Law: Theory and Practice (2004-2009) published by the Russian Academy of Legal Sciences, of several looseleaf services, together with major legal treatises by Russian and other CIS legal scholars and the principal codes of law. Insofar as possible the translations follow literally the original Russian version and employ the vocabulary in W. E. Butler, Russian-English Legal Dictionary (rev. ed.; Moscow, Zertsalo, 2001).
