[IntLawProfessors] Recommendation for textbook and/or "must" readings for a course in Comparative Law

[Wil Burns]

Hello all,

 

My apologies at the outset, as this is a bit off topic, but can't resist
tapping the expertise on this list.

 

In the spring, I will be teaching a course in Comparative Law (course
description below) for the first time. I suspect some of you have taught
this course also and would greatly appreciate suggestions for a textbook
and/or "must read" articles for the students. Many thanks, wil

 

 

Comparative Law (3 units). This course offers an introduction to the
theoretical and practical issues of comparative law. It provides an overview
of the main traditions of legal thought and traces the evolution of both
civil and common law systems as they have been adapted and transplanted to
jurisdictions around the world. Although the focus of the class is primarily
methodological, the course will also include comparisons of substantive case
law.
