Comparative legal history is the study of law in two or more different places or at different times.[1][2][3] As a discipline, it emerged between 1930 and 1960 in response to legal formalism,[4] and builds on scattered uses of legal-historical comparison since antiquity.[5] It uses the techniques of legal history and comparative law.[6]
