Part II then comprises thirty-two chapters each focusing on a particular member state, written by a leading judge, jurist or practitioner in or from the country concerned. Part III contains a selection of key documentation forreference purposes including very recent publications or reports on topical developments such as judicial appointments or the new protocol on non-discrimination.
