Comparative
Law
An introduction
to civil law tradition and to the modern legal systems in Europe,
Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia that have grown
out of or have been substantially influenced by it. This course
provides a foundation for subsequent study of international business
transactions, private international law, and the law of such international
organizations as the European Community, the Central American
Common Market, and the Andean Pact. Emphasis will be given to
procedural problems faced by domestic courts when they have to
decide cases involving foreign law and the fundamental differences
in approach and method between common law and civil law.
