They concurred in a norm on the size and the form of the table where they'll disagree. Games International There are many ways for lawyers to find relief from courtroom pressure, international meetings, and take-over de"adlines. Dr. Hans W. Kopp, a Swiss lawyer who received his master's degree in comparative law from Michigan in 1958, now heads a leading international law firm in Zurich, Switzerland. A stately villa overlooking Lake Zurich houses his firm's elegant offices where he spends his ten-hour working day. As a colonel in the Swiss Army's General Staff he has headed the Swiss Association for Civic Education from 1963 to 1973. In his "spare" time he has authored a number of scholarly books including a widely acclaimed study of parliaments.

In the summer of 1975, Professor Eric Stein of the U-M Law School visited Zurich before assuming the visiting professorship at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in London. He too was intrigued by Kopp's book. The result was a translation from German into English. The editors of Law Quadrangle Notes thought that the readers might enjoy a sample of the original drawings and Stein's English ver-sion.* *The translation from Hans W.
