This course provides an introduction to the comparative method as a process and explores various legal traditions and national systems within those traditions. While the focus will be on the history and essential components of the civil law tradition, the course may also explore the history and significant elements of the common law, Islamic, or socialist traditions. Students will study specific national legal systems to learn the primary similarities and differences between different legal traditions, as well as how the differences have evolved or been minimized over time.
