The Rise of Comparative Law - A Challenge for Legal Education
Europa Law Publishing, Dec 2007, Pages: 30
The van Gerven Lectures are organised by the Centre for a Common Law of Europe of the University of Leuven in honour of Walter van Gerven, emeritus professor at that university and former Advocate-General at the ECJ. Each year, the Centre invites a prominent legal scholar to share perceptions and ideas about the existence or emergence of a common law of Europe.
The seventh van Gerven Lecture “The Rise of Comparative Law: a Challenge for Legal Education in Europe” will be delivered by Prof. Dr. Fauvarque-Cosson on 29 November 2007. Bénédicte Fauvarque-Cosson is Professor of Law at the Université Panthéon-Assas (Paris II). Her field of expertise is in comparative law, contract law and conflict of laws.
Over the past years, academics have reacquired a significant role in the European law making process. A truly European legal research, based on various networks has also developed. This Lecture will examine the discrepancy between, on the one hand, the rise of European and comparative law and, on the other hand, the limited means allocated to the supranational education of future jurists. Legal insularity is no longer an option. Comparative law should therefore no longer be regarded as a pure academic and optional discipline but as an effective way to lead professors, judges and legislators out of national legal isolation. Moreover, the strength and durability of a truly European legal thinking depends largely on the comparative dimension of education.
The seventh van Gerven Lecture is organised in close cooperation with the Ius Commune Research School, which unites legal scholars from the law faculties of the universities of Leuven, Maastricht, Utrecht and Amsterdam. The Lecture will be delivered during the opening session of the School’s twelfth annual Ius Commune Congress which will convene in Liège on 29 and 30 November 2007.
