Learning Outcomes
The course aims: a) to give the opportunity to students to critically examine the major theoretical problems of comparative law, b) to familiarize themselves with the comparative legal method and the general features of major legal systems, c) to give them the opportunity to approach, with the help of the comparative legal method, basic concepts of non-discrimination law. In particular, the specific learning objectives of the course are: To equip students with knowledge that will allow them to resort easily to foreign laws. To study foreign legal concepts and foreign legal institutions and to compare them among themselves and with the Greek law. To approach theoretical problems of comparative legal research, such as the transplanting of legal concepts from one legal system to another, the classification of the legal systems to larger families, the comparability of legal systems and institutions and the assessment of legal solutions given by the legal systems to specific legal problems. To understand the usefulness of comparative legal research in various fields of law, particularly the law of non-discrimination. To be familiarized with the fundamental concepts of non-discrimination law and to understand how these concepts were transplanted, with the help of European Union law, from the laws of the Anglo-American legal tradition to the laws of Continental Europe.
