This course covers the world’s wide-range of legal systems; offers comparative evaluation of the merits of differing legal solutions to social problems; and explores many of the current attempts to unify common and civil law at the international level. Special attention is given to the prominent features of civil law and common law systems, such as the rule of precedent (common law) versus the reliance on good faith (civil law), or the investigatory civil procedure (civil law) and the adversarial civil procedure (common law). Selected civil law judgments and common law judgments will be compared.
