Abstract

THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LEGAL SCIENCE: ITS CONTRIBUTION TO COMPARATIVE LAW Imre Zajtay* 1. In the development of modern comparative law learned societies have often played an important role. This importance is easily enough explained. Comparative law is a humanist science and we know that one of its principal objectives consists in promoting the rapproche­ ment of peoples. Learned societies which join members belonging to different countries and different legal systems are obviously most ap­ propriate organizations for the study of comparative law. A classic illustration is the Society of Comparative Legislation which was de­ scribed at its founding in 1869 in Paris as follows: "One immediately sees that the Society is committed to assuring the cooperation of correspondents in Belgium, Holland, England, Italy, Prussia, and the Scandinavian states. How many countries have joined since . . . the meetings of 1869 reveal the reverberations felt through­ out the world by the plans of the founders: Luzzati, Westlake, Asser, Rolin Jacuemyns, Rivier, agreeing to join; work sent from abroad abounds. . . ."
