Legal Humanism

Legal Humanism is a scholarly approach to studying historical legal texts, particularly Roman law, emphasizing understanding the original language, context, and intentions of the lawmakers. It aims to interpret laws based on their intrinsic meaning and the human values they reflect, rather than relying solely on later interpretations or strict textual analysis. The approach fosters a deeper appreciation of how laws were meant to serve society and emphasizes the importance of context, culture, and language in understanding legal developments across history.
