Abstract
In the article the author sketches the present state of comparative law, discusses the change and expansion in scholarship and concludes with a remark on what possibly is in store for the comparative study of law. The article depicts the present state of comparative law as ‘a jungle’ and then proceeds to explain why ‘one size fits all’ is not possible or desirable anymore. Instead of building a unified discipline it is argued that it is more important that those who study law comparatively commit to using methods of investigation and analysis applicable to satisfying their intellectual curiosity. Instead of looking back at the past of the discipline seeking to build a unified field, it is more fruitful to adapt to the global pluralism of today.
