DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Comparative Law and 91şÚÁĎÍř’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 [dot] kenne
 dy [at] mail [dot] mcgill [dot] ca are appreciated. Refreshments will be p
 rovided.\n\nAbstract\n\nMaimonides (Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon) is perhaps the
  best-known and most widely-studied figure in Jewish history from medieval
  times until the present day. Much research has been devoted to different 
 aspects of Maimonides’ work. Despite the abundance of research on Maimonid
 es\, very little has been written about Maimonides as a jurist in general\
 , and about his tort 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 b
 oth in the Jewish world and beyond it\, in Maimonides’ times and prior the
 reto\, and as compared with modern Western theories. The study will presen
 t both the details of the rulings relating to tort\, and will seek to esta
 blish a rational\, systematic legal theory – a theory that allows for a fu
 ll presentation and overview of Maimonides’ comprehensive conception of to
 rt law\, its objectives\, and its foundations.\n\nWe will mention several 
 surprising points of similarity between certain elements of the theories t
 hat were formulated by the cream of the scholars from leading North Americ
 an universities and between significant elements of the Maimonidean theory
  that was conceived eight hundred years ago in Egypt. Alongside the simila
 rity between the theories\, we will highlight significant differences\, so
 me of them deriving from jurisprudential differences\, some from the diffe
 rence between religious law and secular-liberal law\, and some from the di
 fferences in the historical\, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.\n
