Subject coordinator: J Hussain

This subject focuses on how different legal systems function in the world today. It examines current and past theories of comparative law in the context of globalisation and the internationalisation of law. It provides an introduction to each of the world's major legal systems in their various manifestations and the way in which they are adapting to modern challenges. As well as the traditional comparisons of common, civil and socialist law, the subject considers the theory and practice of legal pluralism and the place of indigenous and religious based laws within state legal systems.
