DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Comparative Law and şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ’s Department of Jew
 ish Studies are pleased to invite you to a talk by Professors Yuval Sinai 
 (Netanya) and Benjamin Shmueli (Bar-Ilan).\n\nRSVPs to jeffrey.kennedy [at
 ] mail.mcgill.ca are appreciated. Refreshments will be provided.\n\nAbstra
 ct\n\nMaimonides (Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon) is perhaps the best-known and mo
 st widely-studied figure in Jewish history from medieval times until the p
 resent day. Much research has been devoted to different aspects of Maimoni
 des’ work. Despite the abundance of research on Maimonides\, very little h
 as been written about Maimonides as a jurist in general\, and about his to
 rt theory in particular.\n\nThis research presents\, for the first time\, 
 Maimonides’ complete tort theory in and of itself. This research compares 
 Maimonides’ theory with other pre-modern tort theories both in the Jewish 
 world and beyond it\, in Maimonides’ times and prior thereto\, and as comp
 ared with modern Western theories. The study will present both the details
  of the rulings relating to tort\, and will seek to establish a rational\,
  systematic legal theory – a theory that allows for a full presentation an
 d overview of Maimonides’ comprehensive conception of tort law\, its objec
 tives\, and its foundations.\n\nWe will mention several surprising points 
 of similarity between certain elements of the theories that were formulate
 d by the cream of the scholars from leading North American universities an
 d between significant elements of the Maimonidean theory that was conceive
 d eight hundred years ago in Egypt. Alongside the similarity between the t
 heories\, we will highlight significant differences\, some of them derivin
 g from jurisprudential differences\, some from the difference between reli
 gious law and secular-liberal law\, and some from the differences in the h
 istorical\, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.\n
