Description :
HIS268H1S : Law and History
The Federal Interpretation Act of Canada states that the law is always speaking’. If the law is always speaking, then it must be speaking in present tense.
But if it only speaks in present tense, does it have a past? How might we consider the field of law from different historical angles?
This course will introduce students to different historical approaches to and uses of law. Using examples from a wide array of legal traditions (e.
g. Common Law, Civil Law, Indigenous Law, Islamic Law), the course will help students gain a greater appreciation for the function, study, and development of law across different times and places.
