European Law

"After thirty-five years of study of European comparative law, my conclusions: In Germany, under the law, everything is prohibited, except that which is permitted. In France, under the law, everything is permitted, except that which is prohibited. In the Soviet Union, under the law, everything is prohibited, including that which is permitted. And, in Italy, everything is permitted, especially that which is prohibited."

- Newton Minow, ex-US federal official speaking to the Association of American Law Schools.
