Presentation

  • Training coordinator: Pascal Vielfaure

 To understand the value of legal history, just read these introductory lines from the 19th-century Répertoire Dalloz! "There are few studies as interesting and useful as the history of law. It is full of fruitful lessons for the philosopher, the historian and the jurisconsult (...) But knowledge of it is above all necessary to the true jurisconsult, to penetrate the true meaning and understand the real scope of the civil institutions of his time; for the present, even after the most profound moral or social revolutions, is always linked to the past by powerful ties, which cannot be broken without reducing it to being itself an enigma".
