Course description / Kursbeschreibung Groups 3 and 4 (Teacher: Peter Harvey)

This course looks at the development of the common law across the English-speaking world and how it has grown up differently from German or French law. We will consider the six ‘core subjects’: crime, tort, contract, equity, constitutional law and land law. We will however also spend time explaining German law in English, concentrating on those areas of law with which students are familiar in their German law courses.
