本书以清晰合理的结构、系统翔实的内容、丰富生动的案例为读者展示了英国冲突法的全貌。言简意赅而不失深刻，内容丰富而繁简得当。其中，既有成文法也有普通法，既有国内法也有国际法，既有冲突法也有实体法，既有理论也有实践，既适合初习者掌握和学习理解冲突法纷繁复杂的基本理论、基本制度，又适合有一定基础者进行更深入地学习和研究。

书中不仅阐述了冲突法的一般原则、规则，而且恰如其分地援用了法律法规近六十部，案例一千有余，其中有的寥寥数语，高度概括，有的细说其详，适度评价，使得具有相当复杂性的冲突法变得生动而鲜活。该书具有较高的学术性和很强的实用性，对于学生、法律实务者和法学研究者了解和研究英国冲突法的理论与实践均具有重要的参考价值。
