Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide space for the study of civil law in an internationally comparative context. When using the internationally-comparative working method, certain pitfalls should be avoided. First of all, comparisons need to be made. The basic starting point is therefore a functional approach to law, characterized by the understanding of law as a tool for finding solutions to problems, ie not necessarily in a formal legal sense (ie, I understand law as a system of standards). It is also necessary to capture the compared legal systems in their full breadth and dynamics. In international comparisons, the choice of the compared jurisdictions is always the key. The criterion for selection will then primarily be how the particular legal order was affected. Specific attention will be paid to the intertwining of the first cultures, legal transplants, incl. their effects and consequences.
