The purpose of this course is to facilitate fruitful
discussions among the students on a wide array of
selected legal topics, allowing them to learn by comparing
and exploring different approaches to identical or similar
similar legal phenomena. In addition to increasing
familiarity with fundamental concepts of different legal
traditions in certain specific fields of law, the totality
of the discussion topics covered will let the students take
some initial steps toward discovering the formation process
and the underlying logic of legal thought. While the course
will also aim at conveying a certain amount of abstract
legal information in fields such as constitutional law,
contract law, human rights, business organisations' law,
criminal law, intellectual property law and such, the main
purpose of the course will be to therefore collectively
discover the relationship between law and logic, tradition,
justice, power and ideology.
