- Contents
- The aim of the course is to give students a general introduction to the methods and vocabulary of comparative law and then to analyse the meaning and application of the expressions 'legal systems', 'legal experiences' and 'legal traditions' in more detail. The object of investigation will therefore be, on the one hand, the intellectual criteria that have led to the division of the world legal space into different 'units' and, on the other hand, the elements that characterize each of them (conceptual schemes; doctrinal and judicial styles; relations between law, politics and culture) and the way in which legal scholars have represented them.
- Reference texts
- For attending students, all materials that will be recommended in lectures and made available in the teaching materials section of Unistudium form an integral part of the programme. In addition:
Sacco, Gambaro, Sistemi Giuridici Comparati, Utet, Turin (latest edition) - chapters 4-10 only.
For non attending students, Sistemi Giuridici Comparati, Utet, Turin (latest edition) , or alternatively, Patrick Glenn, Tradizioni giuridiche del mondo. La sostenibilità della differenza, Il Mulino, Bologna, 2011. - Educational objectives
- The course aims to develop
- a critical knowledge of the various systemological taxonomies in order to understand their historical relativity and the objectives they were intended to fulfil;
- an understanding of how and on the basis of which strategies similarities and differences between different legal systems have been elaborated;
- The ability to orient oneself in multi-level systems characterised by a pluralism of rules and interpretations;
- Awareness of the relevance of the forms and styles of legal discourse and of the interrelationship between law and other forms of knowledge. - Prerequisites
- In order to be able to understand and to know how to tackle the course, students must have the basic notions of private law and public or constitutional law.
This precondition is valid for attending and not attending students. - Teaching methods
- The course is organized as follows:
- lectures will deal with all the issues and problems of the course program;
- projections of slides in order to facilitate a better understanding of the topics discussed;
- delivery of learning and teaching materials to be commented, in order to stimulate the active participation of the students. - Other information
- Attendance is strongly reccomended.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam includes only the final oral test consisting of a discussion-interview on the topics discussed during the course and examined in-depth through recommended texts.
The test aims at assuring the level of knowledge and understanding, as well as synthesis, achieved by the student. Moreover, this interview will verify that the student is able to communicate, with method, propriety of language, and of exposure, what he has acquired.
The duration of test varies depending on the performance of the test itself. - Extended program
- The course will cover the following topics
- Canonical and critical methodologies of comparative law
- Legal systems: how and why the world can be divided into legal systems
- Legal systems and legal traditions: what are the differences?
- The comparison of law with what is 'other than law' (law and literature; law and art)
- In between: standing between legal traditions in favour of sustainable legal diversity
- The Western legal tradition: the process of formation of the civil law and common law traditions
- Legal traditions in the world - Obiettivi Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile
