Albert H. Kritzer* & Loukas A. Mistelis**

The second of the special features in this edition is an invitation to co-venture with Professor Albert Kritzer and Dr Loukas Mistelis to serve our profession and the world community by collaborating on case translations on the CISG – otherwise referred to as “Dragon Taming”.  This paper describes the process of “Taming the Dragons of Uniform Law”, and includes the authors’ most recent report on sharings of judicial reasoning in 225 English texts and English translations of court decisions and arbitral awards on the CISG.
