First published in 1997, this volume provides the reader from a
common law background with an introduction to the Legal System and
basic private law institutions of contemporary Italy. It aims to
afford a basic understanding, rather than a detailed presentation,
of Italian law, through an appreciation of its historical
development within the civil law tradition and its place in that
family of legal systems descended from Roman law. Having described
Italy's place in European legal history and identified the main
features of civil law systems generally, it examines the structure
of the modern Italian State, its legislative process. Constitution,
legal professions and systems of civil, criminal and administrative
justice. The last third is devoted to private law, in particular
the law relating to the family, property, contracts and civil
wrongs, particular attention being paid to differences between the
civil and common law approaches to these subjects. It is a
readable, lucid and systematic account of its subject.
