Module 2: Roman Law I — The Twelve Tables to Classical Jurisprudence

No legal tradition covered in this course had a bigger influence on the modern world than Rome’s. This module covers Rome’s own earliest written law through the classical period’s mature legal system — the direct ancestor of the civil law tradition this course covers next. Every section below is pre-written and deterministic; nothing is AI-generated.
