An Introduction to the Comparative Study of Private Law: Readings, Cases, Materials
This Collection of Readings sets out the two fundamental distinctions between common and civil law, namely that the former orinated in the english courts, the letter in the Roman legal tradition, and that the common law is based on judical decisions whereas codes form the basis of modern civil law. The core of book consist of cases, statutes and code provisions shaping the doctrines central to the law of property, tort, contract and unjust enrichment in the United States, England, France, and Germany. These materials provide a road mapof the law of each, allowing the reader to consider how doctrines differ, how these differences emerged, and whether the undelying problems and solution are common to all.
