Abstract/Description:

Whatever the direction of the research on comparative legal history is, it can be made easier by a handful of methodological steps drawn from both comparative law and legal history. This chapter discusses the boundaries, terminology and purpose of methodology and a collection of five methodological steps that can assist in doing comparative legal history, drawing on examples from a range of legal systems in the last 200 years.
