Features: This book is the Chinese translation of The Modern System of Roman Law (Volume 8), translated from the English edition. It consists of two chapters. The first chapter is titled "The Territorial Scope of Legal Rules Governing Legal Relationships," which addresses the issue of legal conflicts. The second chapter is titled "The Temporal Scope of Legal Rules Governing Legal Relationships," which deals with the retroactive effect of new laws. This book is not merely an observation of the striking and stimulating forms and developments of judicial theory, but rather an exploration of legal beliefs and the legal community, seeking a universally consistent practice. The supplementary sections can be seen as a continuation of the general sections, but they can also stand alone as independent works, with the law of obligations taking precedence. Therefore, these independent works will be published as separate volumes, but they will not have the nature of standalone monographs; moreover, they will be formatted in exactly the same way, as if the modifications mentioned above to the original plan had never occurred.
