This one unit course will offer an introduction to Roman law focused on Roman legal institutions and legal concepts in private and public law. A study of Roman law is valuable both because of its influence on civil and common law systems and for the comparison it offers to Anglo-American Common Law (i.e. Ownership and Possession, Torts, Contracts, Intellectual Property, Legal Status of Citizen and Aliens). Readings will be drawn from a mix of primary and secondary sources. No knowledge of Roman law, Roman history, or Latin and ancient Greek is assumed nor required.
Attendance at the first class is mandatory for all currently enrolled and waitlisted students; any currently enrolled or waitlisted students who are not present on the first day of class (without prior permission of the instructor) will be dropped. The instructor will continue to take attendance throughout the add/drop period and anyone who moves off the waitlist into the class must continue to attend or have prior permission of the instructor in order not to be dropped.
