Description
Summary:Many European and American authors, whether legal experts or not, compared legal systems even before a specific legal discipline was formalized at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This paper analyses a body of nineteenth-century books and articles in order to identify the motivations of their authors and determine how far their approaches differ from or complete each other. The aims were many : to criticize, promote and reform ; to provide legal information, present and classify laws ; to provide governments or judges with some guidelines ; to highlight the diversity of approaches among legal systems ; to help develop historical theories ; to unify existing laws.
