Comparative Law: Focus on EU and US
Professor Werro J.D. Course 079 | 2 credit hours This course consists of an introduction to comparative law, with a focus on European and US law. It is divided into two parts. The first part addresses salient practical and theoretical issues. It considers the relevance of foreign law in a US context; discusses the specificity of European and US lawyers' thinking about the law; and introduces leading approaches to the study of foreign law. The second part of the course examines a range of selected topics in order to illustrate the mode of operation and intellectual rewards of comparative research. Themes include religious dress at school, the European Civil Code, and legal "transplants".
