Law Reform is a crucial process that involves creating a discrete space within the law and legal systems to enable normative self-generation, self-correction, and self-adaptation. This dynamic characteristic should be a defining trait of the genetic material of modern-day institutions of law. This edited volume explores Law Reform in various contexts, including domestic, comparative, regional, and international settings. It delves into the process of Law Reform and emphasizes the importance of ongoing evaluation to ensure its effective functioning. The book adopts a holistic approach to understanding Law Reform, advocating for such an approach throughout the reform process. It begins by examining Law Reform from a theoretical perspective, shedding light on domestic Law Reform processes in civil and common law legal systems. Subsequently, it focuses on Law Reform at the international level, critically appraising the International Law Commission (ILC) and its role in international economic and environmental law. This analysis also considers the contributions of other international organizations such as the IMF, World Trade Organization/World Intellectual Property Organization, Multilateral Development Banks, and the African Union Commission on International Law to Law Reform.

This volume is intended to appeal to a wide range of stakeholders, including students, serious scholars, policy makers, judges, and the legal community at national and international levels. It seeks to provide valuable insights and perspectives on bringing about effective reform in both national and international arenas.
