This book sets forth the evolution of Korea's law and legal system
from the Chos n dynasty through the colonial and postcolonial
modern periods. This is the first book in English that
comprehensively studies Korean legal history in comparison with
European legal history, with particular emphasis on customary law.
Korea's passage to Romano-German civil law under Japanese rule
marked a drastic departure from its indigenous legal tradition. The
transplantation of modern civil law in Korea was facilitated by
Japanese colonial jurists who themselves created a Korean customary
law; this constructed customary law served as an intermediary
regime between tradition and the demands of modern law. The
transformation of Korean law by the brisk forces of Westernization
points to new interpretations of colonial history and it presents
an intriguing case for investigating the spread of law on the
global level. In-depth discussions of French customary law and
Japanese legal history in this book provide a solid conceptual
framework suitable for comparing European and East Asian legal
traditions."
