The Roman Law Department at Miguel Hernández University is part of the Department of Legal Science. It teaches and researches the Roman legal system and its reception in Europe, which imbued the laws in force today with its institutions, aphorisms, principles, axioms, and ideas.

We study and teach a legal system that was able to adapt to the historical circumstances of fourteen centuries of history and that brings us closer to a form of legal reasoning with a degree of technical perfection that has not yet been surpassed. But we go further, because Roman Law serves as an instrument for analyzing the complex evolution of the institutions in force today, thus raising awareness that Europe has constantly received its Roman heritage throughout its history. European legal history has remained inextricably linked to Roman Law, and even today, the process of unification represented by the European Community makes research in this field highly relevant.

For this reason, we always teach by explaining the origins of the various institutions in Roman legal experience, but also by presenting their evolution from a historical-critical perspective and their development in the current Civil Code and also in European law.Té Roman Law Department at Miguel Hernández University is part of the Department of Legal Science.
