Comparative law is, deservedly, gaining more and more attention and credit in the academic and professional worlds. It is indeed becoming much relevant in such issues as law reform, understanding the current cosmopolitan world, academic research, and so on. It has several other functions some of which are not much known in fields such as conflicts of law, international criminal cooperation, and many others. It should be more studied and it does enrich a student juridical background in many ways.

It should be more studied and it does enrich a student juridical background in many ways and endows the students with new relevant legal tools, both theoretical and from the praxis. The approach and materials will be modern and updated and will depart from the already outdated classical approaches and issues.

A myriad of «specialized» comparative laws is blossoming, such as comparative constitutional law, administrative comparative law, labour comparative law, and so many more. Within the comparative law science, a field is deservedly gaining more and more relevance, and traction, comparative constitutional law. Comparative constitutional law was, with Aristotle, after all, the original seed of comparative law studies.

Macau is a particularly relevant case study, a laboratory one may say, for the field of comparative law in general and even more so for comparative constitutional law.

It is also a very important tool for all those that wish to better their knowledge, to reinforce its understanding of Law in general and of several fields of law in particular constitutional law. Macau is not an isolated «legal» island and it is in a context of a legal world more and more cosmopolitan, more and more connected, more and more mutually influenced and those who wish to further explore these topics will have a very good opportunity with this course
