Foundations For A Revival Of The Case Method In Civil Law Education, Fernando M. Toller
Foundations For A Revival Of The Case Method In Civil Law Education, Fernando M. Toller
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The article explores the origins, foundations, and present development of the case method in the Civil Law tradition. It supports the idea that, properly defined, this methodology is very suitable for law, and not only in Common Law jurisdictions, but also the Civil Law and is even more appropriate in Continental law schools. There are indeed some undisputable common roots between Common Law and Civil Law regarding this pedagogical tool.
The misunderstandings and skepticism about the usability of this method in Civil Law education are challenged and answered. The article proves that the case method is a serious and useful …

Legal Theory And The Variety Of Legal Cultures, Sheldon Leader
Legal Theory And The Variety Of Legal Cultures, Sheldon Leader
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This essay begins with a consideration of two anxieties about courts that are common to the civil and common law traditions: a worry about illegitimate judicial law making, and a worry about judicial bias. It will then move to the contribution legal theories might make in dealing with these shared anxieties, with a focus on a position that draws on the two largest contestants: natural law and legal positivism. It will end with an indication of the further distance that theory needs to take us before these worries about the judiciary can be effectively tackled.

Aux Origines De La Culture Juridique Française En Amérique Du Nord, Jacques Vanderlinden
Aux Origines De La Culture Juridique Française En Amérique Du Nord, Jacques Vanderlinden
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Some 400 years ago the French discovered what was to become New France or French North America. Their effort of colonization spread on a vast region stretching from present Nova-Scotia in Canada to the Great Lakes region and down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana. Apart from the latter, the two main northern Atlantic colonies were Acadia and Canada (the name for the present Canadian province of Quebec). French presence lasted in Acadia until 1710 and in the last two
(Canada and Louisiana) until the early years of the 1760’s when the former was transferred to Britain …
Caveat Emptor’S Current Role In Louisiana And Islamic Law: Worlds Apart Yet Surprisingly Close, Andrea Borroni, Charles Tabor
Caveat Emptor’S Current Role In Louisiana And Islamic Law: Worlds Apart Yet Surprisingly Close, Andrea Borroni, Charles Tabor
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Caveat emptor is one of the most well known maxims of the legal world. Interpreters from different countries have their own understanding of this doctrine. At first glance, Louisiana law and Islamic law have nothing in common. Louisiana, at least superficially, adheres to the great civil law tradition that the legislature is supreme. Its primary sources of law are legislation and custom. Islamic law is divine in origin, a direct manifestation of Allah’s will. Its primary sources of law are the Koran and the wisdom of the Prophet Muhammad. Yet, in practice, these two systems have developed surprisingly similar approaches …
