Examines and compares different areas of law and differences between legal systems, with the goal of preparing students for international practice. Efforts are made to include Third World as well as Western legal systems. Among the issues to be investigated are differences between common and civil law systems; the varying roles of judges, juries and prosecutors; differing approaches to statutory interpretation; and the effect of colonial history, as in the cases of India and Israel, on the structure of legal systems. Although all materials are in English, there may be an opportunity for students proficient in foreign languages to do research in foreign language materials.
