Learning outcomes
The course aim to develop in their students a basic level of skill in comprehension, analysis and presentation of Roman Law. Students are expected to know primary sources of Roman Law and to understand legal systems that derive from it. They are expected to think hard about what they have read, so as to develop views not simply about what the law is, but also about why it is so, whether it should be so, how it might be different, and so on, drawing on moral, philosophical, social, historical, economic and other ideas.
Course contents
The course focuses on set texts from the Codes and Digest. Its primary aim is to understand those texts and the ideas and methods of the great Roman jurists who wrote them. The secondary aim is, by comparison, to throw light on the law of our own time. It allows students to study in some detail the outlook and methods of reasoning of the classical jurists who provide the models on which professional legal argument has ever since been based. In practice this will lead to discuss influence of Roman Law and fundamentals of the law of property and obligations.
