Celem tego opracowania jest ogólne przedstawienie niektórych ostatnich trendów, które pojawiły się w związku z nauką i nauczaniem prawa rzymskiego. Są one dostrzegalne w szerszym kontekście roli oraz funkcjonowania nauczania prawa rzymskiego na wydziałach prawa w XX wieku. Ponadto, wskazuje się w tym opracowaniu, że tendencje dotyczące badań nad rzymskimi źródłami prawa, które ujawniły się w amerykańskich szkołach prawniczych, mają potencjał umożliwiający wzbogacenie dyscypliny oraz mogą pozwolić na postawienie nowych pytań dotyczących prawa rzymskiego.
