(in Polish) Tradycje systemów prawnych 1600-SZD-N-TSP-PR
The lecture presents the main sources of European legal tradition. These are: Roman law, customary (tribal) law mainly of Germanic tribes and canon law. It indicates the fundamental sources of law, which are the plane of influence of these laws throughout history. It also shows practical manifestations of the influence of Roman law, customary law or canon law on specific institutions and legal structures functioning in civil, family, criminal or procedural law in modern, including contemporary Europe.
The lecture is dominated by a historical and legal approach. The lecturer's goal is to show that law does not arise ad nihilo. It is the result of historical evolution. Its roots are often very distant, and therefore rooted in tradition, habits or even in the nature of the societies of the Old Continent. The lecture also aims to dispel certain stereotypes about the "progressiveness" of the great European legal codifications, or about the "backwardness" of, for example, canon law.
However, contemporary Europe is an increasingly pluralistic continent ethnically and culturally. Migrants also bring with them their legal cultures, their habits, customs and customs. The lecture therefore presents basic legal information about the legal cultures of Islam, Confucianism and Hinduism.

One answer option for each question may be marked as "Z", meaning that no previous answer in a given point is correct.
The condition for passing the test is to obtain the absolute number of possible points (50% + 1 point).
People who do not pass the final test are obliged to report to the Lecturer's office and pass the test in written form as well.
