Wykłady Prof. Charlsa Szypszaka oraz dr Emily Roscoe z UNC Chapell Hill
Comparative Law Research – From an American Perspective
The legal community has good reasons to be interested in the laws of other nations, but there are real barriers to finding and understanding comparative law. In this lecture, Dr. Roscoe, who teaches information and library science and law, will describe overarching obstacles that interfere with finding and reading comparative law including the influence of language and culture on formulating and carrying out research enquiries, and the increasingly bewildering array of interferences in accessing law authority and scholarship even when its existence is known. Professor Szypszak will discuss how such obstacles are interrelated with important differences in how law is envisioned in the United States, including the pre-eminence of the adopted Constitution, the interpretive role of judges, and the importance of case law.
