General History of State and Law WP-PRZ-PH
A lawyer should possess the ability to perceive the state and its institutions from a historical perspective, allowing them to critically analyze contemporary legal solutions, as well as a good knowledge of the European legal tradition. Therefore, the course should lead to:
1. learning the history of basic institutions and concepts of public law, particularly those related to the history of parliamentarism, administration, fiscal law, and the military;
2. developing the ability to compare different legal systems and institutions, both historically and territorially;
3. a better understanding of the causes of the diversity of contemporary state systems;
4. an awareness of the axiology of contemporary European law, particularly its Roman and Judeo-Christian roots;
