Summary

This video is the first part of a conference titled ‘La théorie du droit, objet de comparaison’ (Legal Theory as an Object of Comparison), held on April 11, 2025, at Université Jean Monnet Saint-Étienne. The conference is co-organized by the Chaire Droit public et politique comparés and CERCCLE (Université de Bordeaux), with support from CERCRID and other institutions. The opening remarks are given by the Dean of the Faculty of Law, who praises the organizers, Camille Border and Marie Padilla, and highlights the importance of the event. He also introduces the Chaire and its director, Aurélien Antoine, and mentions the collaboration with Bordeaux. The second speaker, Baptiste, discusses the role of comparative law within CERCRID, citing several research projects and the creation of a new journal. Aurélien Antoine then takes the floor, thanking participants and outlining the conference’s structure, which includes panels on the contributions of comparative law to legal theory, the transcendence of classical boundaries, and doctoral research. The conference aims to foster dialogue between legal theorists and comparatists, with a second part planned for the following year in Bordeaux.
