Italian Civil Law Scholars

Italian Civil Law Scholars gathers the jurists of the modern Italian civilian tradition, above all the scholars who drafted Italy's 1942 civil code and the generations of Italian legal theorists, in fields from contract and property law to civil procedure and criminal law, whose work built on it and on the older Italian civilian scholarship reaching back to the medieval glossators. Italy's own civil law tradition draws on both the French and German civilian schools grouped elsewhere in this subcategory while remaining distinct enough, and populous enough in this subcategory's own membership, to warrant its own group rather than being split between them.
