Different perceptions of law.
Comparing Norwegian and Italian legal methods and sources
Lawyers in different countries have different perceptions both of what law is and how it should be applied in order to solve cases. To arrive at legitimate solutions to legal problems, a certain method must be followed, and this differs from country to country. On this occasion, Daniele Bertolini and Ingvill Helland Göller would like to invite you to a discussion on similarities and differences in perceptions of law and legal method in various countries following a presentation centered around three elements influencing and characterizing legal method in Italy and Norway:
- Different understandings of the concept “source of law”
- The role of coherency and predictability in the two systems, and the mechanisms that promote them
- How legal practitioners approach a legal case, and what this says about core characteristics of the system
The lunch seminar will be held in English and digitally, and registration is required. If you wish to participate, you can sign up to receive the Zoom link.
Please be aware that the lunch seminar will start at 14:15.
