UIAPublications Podcast: Recent Episodes
Marie-Pierre Liénard
Welcome to the UIA Publications Podcast, an audio series presenting the latest titles of the UIA / LexisNexis Publications Collection By listening to our podcast, you will have the opportunity of discovering a collection of books that has its own identifiable editorial space and is different from everything that already exists today on the market of publications for legal practitioners. The editorial line is characterised by an ultra-practical approach, with short books of 100 to 120 pages on average, with no or very few footnotes. The Collection, launched in 2017, focuses on emerging or innovative issues with an international dimension. In our podcasts, we will interview editors or authors of the books to introduce and discuss the legal issues dealt with in their books.
