Reviews of Islamic Finance and the Shari'ah
This book without doubt sets a new standard for Islamic banking and finance books. Michael McMillen is one of the very few lawyers worldwide who is at home both with complex western legal issues and Islamic Shari'ah financial contracts. We will benefit immensely from his deep insights and practice solutions.

... a profound and groundbreaking work ... even with the incredible proliferation of information on the subject of Islamic finance, no one has attempted a study like this one. A challenging and engaging book for students and an ideal point of departure for professionals. For comparative law and constitutional law scholars interested in the dynamics of juridicial thought and process, this volume offers an unprecedented and insightful view into a unique contemporary example. A compelling insight into a vital juristic process of Shari'ah scholars employing the juristic methodologies of classical Islam to establish the foundations of Islamic finance.

A perspective often missing from debates about Islamic finance is that of a group that played a quiet but crucial role in shaping the industry - international finance lawyers specializing in Islamic finance. Michael McMillen - a pioneer and leader among that group - gives us the benefit of that perspective in his incisive new book.
