Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Course in Comparative Jurisprudence Uses and Methods of the Study of Comparative Jurisprudence and Legal History. - Law, a science in its theory and an art in its application, and the more exact our knowledge of it is as a science the more precise and effective will be its application as an art. Jurisprudence has been developed from archaic times by a very slow but distinctly continuous growth. We need not undervalue the labors of analytical jurists, but the fact remains that the historical method is indispensable and becomes the more so as modern research is extended into the origin of all kinds of human life and human institutions. Reference to the views of Professor Paulsen, of Berlin, that law is not an invention of jurists and legislators, but has grown up with the social life of the people as the external form of their union. Originally it is custom; then at a certain stage of development it is separated from the collection of universal obligatory forms of life and action, and becomes a separate field of social compulsion. From that stage on it becomes possibly an object of conscious consideration, and may be even expressed in written statutes and codes and come to look like an artificial product; but whoever considers the subject historically will easily observe that the legal system as a whole is not made. All that is done is to incorporate in a system what has been current and traditional. Occasionally slight adaptations to the changing life and conditions of the people are made. We may say of the legal codes, then, they are not made; they grow. Primitive people did not meet in convention and say, "Let us make a constitution, a civil code, and a code of practice." Such things may be said sometimes today in communities which have behind them thousands of years of legal experience; but even then they can make very little that is new, but generally rearrange and adapt what is immemorially old. If we wish to understand their work fully we must study its sources. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: In today's globalized world, jurists cannot limit themselves to studying the laws of their own country.

Its concise format makes it fit for use also in other courses, such as legal history or jurisprudence, having the ambition to provide the students with a basic knowledge about English, American, French, German, Chinese and Islamic law and legal culture, as well as about the methodological problems that arise in connection with studying, comparing and working with foreign legal systems in general. The book will hopefully also be useful as a spring-board towards more profound studies by students and others seeking more advanced knowledge. Michael Bogdan is Professor of Comparative and Private International Law at the University of Lund, Sweden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decades, the field commonly known as comparative law has significantly expanded. The multiplication of journals, the proliferation of scholarship and the creation of courses or summer schools specifically devoted to comparative law attest to its increasing popularity. Within the Western legal tradition, a traditional, black-letter approach to law has proved particularly authoritative. This co-authored book rethinks comparative law’s mainstream model by providing both students and lawyers with the intellectual equipment allowing them to approach any foreign law in a more meaningful way.

Download or read book An Introduction to Comparative Law Theory and Method written by Geoffrey Samuel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short book on comparative law theory and method is designed primarily for postgraduate research students whose work involves comparison between legal systems. It is, accordingly, a book on research methods, although it will also be of relevance to all students (undergraduate and postgraduate) taking courses in comparative law and to academics entering the field of comparison. The substance of the book has been developed over many years of teaching general theory of comparative law, primarily on the European Academy of Legal Theory programme in Brussels but also on other programmes in French, Belgian and English universities. It is arguable that there has been to date no single introductory work exclusively devoted to comparative law methodology and thus this present book aims to fill this gap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historical Comparative Law and Comparative Legal History Legal history and comparative law overlap in important respects. This is more apparent with the use of some methods for comparison, such as legal transplant, natural law, or nation building. M.N.S. Sellers nicely portrayed the relationship. The past is a foreign country, its people strangers and its laws obscure.... No one can really understand her or his own legal system without leaving it first, and looking back from the outside. The comparative study of law makes one's own legal system more comprehensible, by revealing its idiosyncrasies. Legal history is comparative law without travel. Legal historians, perhaps especially in the United States, have been skeptical about the possibility of a fruitful comparative legal history, preferring in general to investigate the distinctiveness of their national experience. Comparatists, however, content with revealing or promoting similarities or differences between legal systems, by their nature strive toward comparison. Some American historians, especially since World War II, see the value in this"--
Download or read book The Enigma of Comparative Law written by A.E. Orucu and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing the contested theme Comparative Law as an ‘Enigma’, this book explores its fundamental issues as sub-themes, each covered in two variations. After the Overture, the author pulls some strands together in the Intermezzo, uses a free hand in the Cadenza, and asks the reader to draw her own conclusions in the Finale. By this method two fundamentally opposed views are exposed in each Chapter. The what, why and how of comparative law, comparative law and legal education, comparative law and judges, and comparative law and law reform by transposition are explored. The author also examines current debates of comparative law such as law and culture, deconstruction of classifications, mixing systems, limits of comparability, convergence/non-convergence and ius commune novum. By following this two-pronged approach, the book covers many important aspects of comparative law in a refreshing manner not seen in any other work. It is provocative and discursive, bringing together for the reader major developments of comparative law. The book ends by asking ‘Where are we going?’.

Download or read book Comparative Legal Studies 1750 to 1835 Approaches to Conceptualization 2 Volumes written by Oleksiy V Kresin and published by Wildy, Simmonds & Hill Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revisionist interpretation of the origins of comparative law as a discipline, these volumes reconsider the period from 1750 to 1835 and take the origins of "legal comparativistics" back at least eight and a half decades in comparison with traditional understandings of the history of comparative jurisprudence. The influence of Hegelian approaches is much in evidence in this study. The transformations that occurred were propelled by the secularization of natural law. Legal knowledge separated itself from philosophy and became a positivist, social, and empirical legal science. Volume One addresses the historiographical, theoretical and methodological foundations of comparative legal studies, the scientific approaches to periodizing the history of comparative legal studies, conceptualization of the theoretical grounds of comparative legal studies, the prerequisites and context of the theoretical foundations of comparative legal studies, transformation of concepts on natural law, and the forming of doctrines of national law. Volume Two addresses the origins of the theoretical foundations of comparative law, and then turns to the roles of the Individual and the Universal in developing a comparative legal scientific picture of the world, with attention to the Particular in Law and the classification of national legal systems. The reconsideration of approaches to comparative-legal conceptualization is accompanied by an extensive Bibliography of sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Comparative Law: A Very Short Introduction aims to offer a concise introduction to Comparative Law—its objectives, methods, concepts and uses. After an overview of the fundamental definitions, key concepts and basic lexicon of the discipline, the book proposes an analysis of the most successful techniques adopted in legal comparison for mapping the world's legal systems and for explaining legal change and diffusion of law, also giving a concise description of the legal traditions of the world. It also offers an account of the competing approaches adopted over time in comparative endeavours, from functionalism to culturalism and postmodernism, and highlights the different emphasis placed by each of these approaches on commonalities, faith in universal law and convergence, or on divergence and irreducible differences. Finally, the book provides readers with an understanding of the practical use of comparative law, describing how legal comparison is employed both in law-making and in adjudication, supplementing legal reasoning and interpretation. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
