Le comparatisme dans les facultés de droit italiennes à la veille de la Grande Guerre

Should comparative methods be considered a classic tool for XIXe century Italian jurists ? Italian jurists were naturally open to comparative laws, mainly because of the country’s political situation. However, among the most significant changes that occurred in legal education at the turn of the 20th century were new teachings of modern comparative law. Indeed, legal methods went through a period of heated critical debate and comparative law started to be considered a very interesting field of study. This led to the development of new topics and the discovery of other legal traditions.
