The contributors to this volume identify and discuss the fashioning of the new Nordic legal map. The publication is a collection of papers presented at the final symposium of the project which was held in Reykjavik in 2008. With different approaches, the authors try to position Nordic law in relation to contemporary tendencies. Traversing the landscape of increasingly multi-layered and complex legal sources, they examine a broad range of significant issues, including historical arguments, judicial decisions and languages, religions, values and traditions.
