About the Department
The Department of Roman Law integrates the content and methodological foundations necessary for understanding fundamental legal concepts within the framework of the University Integrated Undergraduate and Graduate Study Program in Law (course: Roman Private Law), shaping the legal culture of future legal professionals.
At the postgraduate level, it evaluates Roman law and the paradigms of its reception through historically comparative content in various study programs of the Faculty. This evaluation extends to recent codifications and corresponds to the knowledge of students in the Doctoral Study Program in the Field of Social Sciences, the Subject of Law (course: Roman Foundations of European Private Law), highlighting the significance of the Roman system in Croatian and European legal traditions.
The scientific and educational components of the Department’s work draw inspiration from the esteemed contributions of previous external lecturers and former course leader in Roman Law, Academician Lujo Margetić, Professor Emeritus. This legacy is continuously respected in the didactic dimension (university textbooks: Mile Boras, Lujo Margetić, Roman Law, Faculty of Law, Rijeka, 1998/3; Anamari Petranović, Obligationes iuris romani / Breviarium, Faculty of Law, Rijeka, 2010).
Assist. Prof. Dr. Ines Matić Matešković, earned her doctorate in 2017 defending her dissertation titled “Pactum Antichreticum.” Her areas of interest include Roman law, Croatian medieval law, and civil law.
