Reviews
"I am delighted to recommend Marie Seong-Hak Kim's Law and Custom in Korea without reserve. It is the best law book I have read in several years. Not only is it beautifully written and a pleasure to read but Kim's knowledge of other writings on comparative law is superb. The subject is fascinating: law that is primarily borrowed and custom that is local. So far as I know, this book has no equal in the literature on comparative law." Alan Watson, Distinguished Research Professor and Ernest P. Rogers Chair of Law, University of Georgia School of Law, "For too long, East Asia in general and Korea in particular has been treated as a backwater in comparative legal studies. Marie Kim's monumental contribution helps correct this state of affairs. With nuance and rigor, she uses the lens of custom to situate modern Korean law in a comparative context. A major advance not only for our understanding of modern Korea but also of colonial and postcolonial legality more broadly." Tom Ginsburg, Leo Spitz Professor of International Law, University of Chicago Law School, "Law and Custom in Korea, by Marie Seong-Hak Kim, is a singular contribution to comparative law literature. No published scholarship on Korean law and the colonial period equals Professor Kim's objective insight and the overall quality of her work. Law and Custom in Korea contributes importantly to the literature not only on law in colonial regimes generally but most significantly on the imposition and role of Western law in the most prominent non-Western colonial regime of the twentieth century." - John O. Haley, Professor of Law, Vanderbilt University; William R. Orthwein Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus, Washington University in St. Louis, "I am delighted to recommend Marie Seong-Hak Kim's Law and Custom in Korea without reserve.

It is, however, a saga in which Kim tells us of how the civil law tradition in France and Germany was transplanted to Japan and only a few decades later to its colony Korea, as Japanese rulers and judges saw that it fit the needs of efficient colonial management and Western jurisprudence's requirements of customary law. Kim's book provides us with sad but rich stories to explore from Korean civil law history."

Synopsis
This is the first book in English that covers the evolution of Korean law and custom comprehensively from the Chosn dynasty through the colonial and postcolonial modern periods. In particular, this book discusses in detail legal developments under Japanese colonial rule that formed the foundation of the modern Korean legal system, and thus presents new interpretations of colonial history., This book sets forth the evolution of Korea's law and legal system from the Chosn dynasty through the colonial and postcolonial modern periods. This is the first book in English that comprehensively studies Korean legal history in comparison with European legal history, with particular emphasis on customary law. Korea's passage to Romano-German civil law under Japanese rule marked a drastic departure from its indigenous legal tradition. The transplantation of modern civil law in Korea was facilitated by Japanese colonial jurists who themselves created a Korean customary law; this constructed customary law served as an intermediary regime between tradition and the demands of modern law. The transformation of Korean law by the brisk forces of Westernization points to new interpretations of colonial history and it presents an intriguing case for investigating the spread of law on the global level. In-depth discussions of French customary law and Japanese legal history in this book provide a solid conceptual framework suitable for comparing European and East Asian legal traditions., This book sets forth the evolution of Korea's law and legal system from the Chosn dynasty through the colonial and postcolonial modern periods.
