As you can see, the present organization mixes chapters on legal systems with thread chapters (boldfaced above), chapters discussing issues that run through multiple legal systems. I have tried to arrange things so that each thread chapter comes after the system chapters to which it is most relevant.
I would be interested in hearing, from anyone who has read through the draft, whether he thinks it would work better if arranged as all of the system chapters followed by all of the thread chapters.
