| News | Current and short-term information concerning the course can be found on the website of Prof. Babusiaux's chair. |
| Description | This course is designed to equip students with a methodologically grounded understanding of approaches to comparative private law. It begins with an introduction—based on selected key readings—to the historical development of comparative law and the evolution of its methodological frameworks (Babusiaux). Building on this foundation, the course will explore specific domains, in particular contract law (Doralt), property law and real securities (Alonso), as well as land registration law (Fiocchi), and the law of succession, with special focus testamentary freedom and forced heirship (Liebrecht), in order to illustrate and apply methodological considerations in concrete legal contexts. Active participation requires prior engagement with the assigned readings, which will be made available in full via OLAT. Assessment will consist of a critical evaluation of a scholarly text addressing issues in comparative law. A foundational knowledge of private law across diverse legal systems is assumed. The course will be taught by several professors of the faculty. |
