Comparative legal history is the study of law in two or more different places or at different times.[1][2][3] It builds on a long history of legal-historical comparison,[4] utilising the techniques of legal history and comparative law.[5] It emerged as a legal discipline between 1930–60 in response to legal formalism.[6]
We acknowledge, too, that comparative law and legal history (internal or external) are fundamentally related.
