Overview

  • Academic Director: Pascal Vielfaure

 To understand the value of the history of law, one need only read these few introductory lines from the 19th-century *Répertoire Dalloz*! “Few fields of study are as interesting and as useful as the history of law. It is full of valuable insights for the philosopher, the historian, and the jurist. (...) But knowledge of it is especially necessary for the true jurist, to grasp 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 bonds, which cannot be broken without reducing the present itself to an enigma.”
