Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the technique of exegesis, which is not only central to the doctrinal methodologies of the Roman legal tradition but moreover insightful as a tool of textual critique with numerous possible applications in legal practice. The course is about interpreting and deconstructing the literary devices and doctrinal techniques used in legal argumentation. Students will learn how to write a structured and sustained commentary on a selected extract of a primary legal source from the corpus of Roman law, specifically on extracts of the Digest of Justinian.

The course serves as preparation for the FÜM 1.

The course shall be taught in English.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Two written assessments

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The final grade is based on the average of the two written assessments. Active participation in the course contributes to an increase of the final grade. Regular attendance is expected.

Prüfungsstoff

The two written assessments are exercises in the exegesis of a given excerpt of the Digest, in the same format as students can expect in the FÜM 1. The doctrinal content follows the expectations of the curricula of the core courses in the Roman law of obligations and property (see textbooks below).

The legal textbooks are the same as those used in the Roman law core courses:
Benke and Meissel, Roman Law of Property. Origins and Basic Concepts of Civil Law I, Caterina Grasl trans. (Manz 2019).
Benke and Meissel, Roman Law of Obligations. Origins and Basic Concepts of Civil Law II, Caterina Grasl trans. (Manz 2021).

Recommended (in German only):
Halbwachs (ed.), Gesammelte Prüfungsfälle und Exegesen Römisches Recht (2018)

The textual sources from the Digest will be provided directly to students. Recommended translation: Alan Watson, The Digest of Justinian (4 vols, 2009, University of Pennsylvania Press).
