Abstract

162 THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE LAW [Vol. 25 to the materials they present in the case law. Hopefully the publica­ tion of Volume II would complete the course and fill remaining gaps in the treatise. Kozolchyk and Torrealba present a book which has value in Costa Rica and should travel well if it were adopted as the basis for a Com­ mercial Law course in another Latin American or even European ju­ risdiction by a teacher who was willing to substitute his own country's opinions for the Costa Rican reports. Even this may be unnecessary. After all, it is methodology and a world view one is after. That goal should be attainable through the use of these materials in any country which has traditions and systems in common with Costa Rica. There are factors which mitigate against the widespread use of the Curso for teaching in Latin America. The preparation of such materials is time-consuming, as is the preparation for competent teaching from them. The materials require a greater commitment from students, who must prepare daily for class discussion, instead of simply show up for class.
