CRN 17212

View Course Details
This course examines the history of law in Europe (including both England and the continent, as well as Europe's overseas domains) from the fall of the Roman Empire (fifth century) to the present day. Organized chronologically, it engages with the sources of law, the organization of legal systems, and the relations between law and society. We discuss primary historical sources that highlight the particularities of distinct moments in that long trajectory, as well as cover some of the main dilemmas facing European law today.

Notes

The recorded lectures are from the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences companion course History 1921. Registered students can ordinarily live stream the lectures Tuesdays, 9:45-11:45 am starting September 3 or they can watch them on demand. The recorded sessions are typically available within a few hours of the end of class and no later than the following business day. Class sessions for this course may include students enrolled in the FAS companion course. Accordingly, when you participate in live class sessions, you will do so alongside both Division of Continuing Education (DCE) and FAS students. If you participate in a way that causes you to appear in recordings of the class, those recordings may be shown to DCE students enrolled in this course or FAS students enrolled in the companion course, according to the policies of the two schools on accessing recordings of class sessions.
