Reviews

'Professor Ballantyne is one of the very few lawyers who have been exposed to three legal systems: Common law, Arab laws and Continental law. This, added to his lucid observation and objective judgment, gives enormous value to his writings. Whoever is intent on acquiring a fair-minded view of the commercial laws of the Gulf Arab states, on learning how pitfalls and costly mistakes could be avoided when dealing with those states, or simply on reading about an outstanding professional experience written in a beautiful and simple language, should go over "Essays and Addresses on Arab Laws".' - Nabil Saleh, Year Book of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law
