	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Roman Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Roman law in its maturity recognized a definite natural-law theory as the ultimate test of the reasonableness of positive law, and repudiated the concept that justice is the creature of positive law.
		Law was natural or positive (man-made); it was natural strictly speaking (instinctive), or it was natural under the Roman concept of the jus gentium (law of nations) — natural in itself or so universally recognized by all men that a presumption arose by reason of universality.
		To return to the Roman law, the school of the glossators (of whom Accursius in the middle of the thirteenth century was the last) was succeeded by the school of which Bartolus of Sasso Ferrato and Alciat were representatives.

		This rigidity of the law of property is mitigated to an extent by the law of obligations.
		In Roman law, the heir was in principle liable for the obligations of the deceased.

	Ancient Roman Law - Crystalinks
		From the Law of the Twelve Tables, the first Roman code of law developed during the early republic, the Roman legal system was characterized by a formalism that lasted for more than 1,000 years.
		The basis for Roman law was the idea that the exact form, not the intention, of words or of actions produced legal consequences.
		The Romans never had a written constitution, but their form of their government, especially from the time of the passage of the lex Hortensia (287 B.C.), roughly parallels the modern American division of executive, legislative, and judicial branches, although the senate doesn't neatly fit any of these categories.

	Roman Law and Comparative Law (Alan Watson) - review
		Roman Law and Comparative Law is divided into two parts: the first third is a description of Roman law and the remainder considers various topics in comparative law, and in particular the historical influence of Roman law.
		This is quite sensible: the reader can get the necessary grasp of Roman law and then pick and choose from the second section depending on their interests.
		Though I can vouch that Roman Law and Comparative Law is accessible to those without a legal background (it is the first book on law I have ever read), it is really aimed at those who do have some knowledge of the law and who want an introduction to Roman law and its influence.
