Hi. I will insert here the entire question for you to read:
“The 17th and 18th‐century Dutch institutional writers are the most important sources of Roman‐Dutch law. The institutional writers were responsible for combing the Western European ius commune with Dutch customary law. These authors made use of the wisdom of Roman law principles and the Western European ius commune.” (Barratt et al, 2019, 34)
Discuss the concept of ‘Roman‐Dutch Law’ with reference to the institutional Dutch authors and their contribution towards the modern South African legal system.
Your essay should be no less than 500 words and no more than 1000 words in length. Also see the marking rubric attached to this as Annexure B. Remember to hand in the rubric together with your assignment. It is essential to cite all your sources and paraphrase in accordance with the IIE’s LAW STYLE GUIDELINES AND LEGAL REFERENCING Guide 2022.
I am a first year law student in South Africa.
I am not quite sure how to insert the guide mentioned above for the referencing, perhaps once you have received this I could mail it over or something? This is my first time using it so I don’t really know.
