Finally! Today the introductory course on transnational law for the students of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Warsaw begun!

Prawo prywatne, jako prawo służące jednostkom, nie zna granic państwowych. Globalizacja w ekonomii, komunikacji i technologii, masowa mobilność ludności i rosnące w skali świata współzależności prowadzą do umiędzynarodowienia zagadnień, które dotychczas wydawały się być problemam...

The British Association of Comparative Blog has just posted a text by Jan Rudnicki and Aleksander Grebieniow on how the Polish law mixed jurisdiction was born after Poland regained independence in 1918. Symbolically, the text appears on Polish Independence Day !!! 🇵🇱

Introduction A ‘mixed legal jurisdiction’ is typically a legal order where the common law and civilian traditions intermingle. So says the primary comparative legal literature (H.P. Glenn, Legal Tr…

Our colleagues from the Chair of European Legal Tradition have published a new book on equality in exchange upon the Polish law, albeit in comparative perspective. The book provides some proposals de lege ferenda on the occasion of recent (30th June) amendment of the Polish Civil code (Art. 388).

Concerning Transnational law, Dr. iur. Aleksander Grebieniow has written a chapter on unfair advantage in the most modern transnational legal doctrine.

Looking forward to the English version!

W dniu 30 czerwca 2022 r. Weszła w życie nowelizacja Kodeksu cywilnego, zmieniająca w dość istotny sposób kształt instytucji wyzysku (art. 388 k.c.).

Rolą nauki prawa jest m.in. objaśnianie i merytoryczna krytyka nowych regulacji. Temu służyć ma też najnowsza publikacją naszych katedralnych kolegów: dr Witold Borysiak oraz dr Aleksander Grebieniow, którzy wspólnie z dr Jan Andrzejewski (UAM) i dr Jędrzej M. Kondek (IWS) przedstawili instytucję wyzysku w perspektywie krajowej i historycznoporównawczej:

Today (on 6th June 2022) our colleague, Dr. iur. Aleksander Grebieniow delivered remotely a lecture "A Common Contract Law in Asia?" within the Trisakti Law Lecture Series, at the Trisakti Faculty of Law, Jakarta (Indonesia).

Discussed were the attempts for harmonisation of Contract law in Asia and the place of draft Principles of Asian Contract Law in the realm of Transnational law. Apart from theoretical inquires, the main issue - is the harmonisation of law in Asia at all feasible - has been discussed.

This post is more Roman 🏛 than Transnational 🌏 ... But wasn't also the Roman law transnational for a reason? Its authority went well beyond state borders. In prof. Jakob F. Stagl's research project we will try to figure out one of the mysteries about how one of the greatest books of Antiquity, "the Temple of Justice", has been drafted!

RECENT PUBLICATION

Our colleague, Aleksander Grebieniow, has just published an article on "Principles of Asian Contract Law at the Crossroads of Standardization and Legal Pluralism":

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/asian-journal-of-law-and-society/article/abs/principles-of-asian-contract-law-at-the-crossroads-of-standardization-and-legal-pluralism/2992C2733AAB75D265FB69B07D1C56B3

It's already available in the First View section of the "Asian Journal of Law and Society". Would you like to know what it is about? Here you are:

The Principles of Asian Contract Law (PACL) are the most recent addition to the series of uniform laws regarding transnational commercial contracts. This time, the harmonization initiative must address the problem of a great variety of legal traditions, all of which are quite difficult to reconcile. The author focuses on the object and objectives of the PACL by reconsidering the notion of “Asian law” and the alleged cultural neutrality of contract law as a legal discipline. The paper argues that the PACL project lacks clarity. Its ambitious objectives, while apparently intelligible, fail to produce the desired results in their entirety: the Asian regional harmonization of contract law turns out to resemble its occidental forerunners. The study goes beyond the traditional comparative law. It explores the model law (in the making) in a broader context of legal policy, parallel regional private-law-making efforts in the field of contract law as well as in the context of legal globalization.

Welcome to the fanpage of the newly established Warsaw Centre for Transnational Law.

Warsaw Centre for Transnational Law established at the Faculty of Law (University of Warsaw) conducts research in Transnational & Comparative law. WCTL's director is Prof. Dr. Jakob F. Stagl, supported by Dr. iur. Aleksander Grebieniow and PhD candidate Igor Adamczyk.

We focus on researching the interrelations of the legal systems that transcend the borders of states. In particular we pay attention to the fact that transnationalization of law is a perennial phenomenon that can be traced back far into the past. We combine historical and comparative research (law in time and in space). The systematics of Roman law, the pehnomenon of legal harmonisation and mixtures of legal traditions count currently to our core topics.

On this site you will find current news about the Transnational law, our research projects or other events, as well as the newest publications of the members of our Centre:

- Prof. Dr. Jakob Fortunat Stagl
- Dr. iur. Aleksander Grebieniow
- mgr Igor Adamczyk

Stay tuned! 🎓📚📖✏️🔍📝
