Code: 2JU178
The course introduces law by way of comparing different legal systems. The course is divided into three parts. The first part of the course provides an introduction to the field of comparative law as such and some of the dominant legal systems of the world (e.g. continental European civil law, common law, Chinese, East Asian Law, and Islamic Law). The selection of systems will vary between years. The second part introduces and compares various legal and institutional concepts (e.g. law, legal sources, and courts) and how they have developed in various legal systems. The third and final part involves comparing specific substantive and procedural topics (e.g. contracts, sales, family law, and administrative law).
