Roman-Canonic Impacts on Modern Continental Law
Roman and Canon Law shaped the form of national legal systems for centuries. Whereas Roman Law was considered to be the ideal model of legal regulation in the area of private law, Canon Law performed these tasks in the area of public law. Despite several efforts to “liberate” the national legal systems from these impacts, which appeared continually from the times of the Modern Period and culminated in the 20th century, the majority of exerted legal institutions have henceforth their basis in the Roman-Canon rules, ideas or principles. The main task of the section of the Department of Roman and Church Law and Institute of Canon Law is to search for these impacts in the historical, as well as in positive-law context.
