| INTERNATIONAL MEMORIAL COURSE MARKO PETRAK

The main objectives of the course are to analyse various legal issues in contemporary legal systems that are rooted in Roman legal tradition, and try to determine in which measure the original context of the formation of a particular rule, legal maxim or term may be useful in solving the current legal problems. Roman law influenced various legal systems throughout history up until the present moment, in the first place through the so-called European ius commune and the major civil codes. In general, Roman legal tradition is a core element of contemporary legal systems. The course builds upon this notion, focusing on the analysis and the discussion of specific (selected) legal topics. Methodologically, the course is based on the elaboration of current legal issues, which are analysed taking into account their apparent origins. In the process, the emphasis will be put on the analysis of particular cases (“law in action”), the contemporary case law, but also the original cases in the context of which specific rules, legal maxims or terminology were shaped. This course will thus tackle particular legal concepts, trace their roots within the Roman legal tradition, and then re-contextualise current problems taking into account their historical background.
