| Research Abstract |
Throughout these four years, we analyzed, on the French Code Civil aged 200 and that we consider objectively as a book, backgrounds of its codification, its structure as a book, vicissitudes in its substance during these two hundred years, influences to other countries, especially to Japan who had accepted it as a major codification model. We discussed on the subject with French colleagues at the occasion of international meetings, in particular at the Bicentenary of the Code civil held at March 2004 in Paris.
Regarding backgrounds of formation of the Code civil, we retraced an interesting history of 1) description and systematization of "French law" through a consciousness of "French common custom" arisen in result of redaction of local customs since the middle of 15^<th> c., and 2) tentative of codification of unified law in opposition to the Roman law but by imitating structure of its "Institutes".
As for vicissitudes after the codification, while Family law was completely reformed in the second half of 20^<th> c. and is always going to be reformed recently, Estate law and Obligations law remained in contrast largely in original state of provisions until the Bicentenary, when curiously a massive reforms are now going on, stimulated by a growing European harmonized law.
Publication of our results is made, with collaboration of many of our colleagues, 1) at a mini-symposium on the subject in the joint frame of Japan Society of Comparative Law and the Societe franco-japonaise de Science juridique at June 2004, and finally 2) by realizing a book, titled "Bicentenary of the French Code Civil".
