20101005 - CANONICAL LAW

The course aims to provide a basic knowledge of Canon Law, which is considered as a special legal system. Canon law can serve to integrate the legal education from a triple perspective: 1) historical, because it is the foundation of the "common law" and "civil law"; 2) comparative, because it differs from other legal systems for general principles and institutions; 3) cultural, because its characteristics/skills can be used for the construction of a European law.
