The aim of this contribution is to study how the science of comparative law has helped the Europeanization of European law in the modern context. What role does the process of comparative law at EU level play in the development of European private law? Several questions are raised about the influence of comparative law in the emergence of European private law. However no definitive answers about the emergence of European private law would be given, but will provide with the reader with the necessary tools to answer them for him or herself while proving that comparative law plays a crucial role in the Europeanization process. The private laws of the EU Member State is currently made up of 29 private law systems (28 national systems 6 and Scots law) plus the laws that are derived from the EU legal order through regulations and directives. Basically most form part of the civil law tradition with the UK (excluding Scotland) and Eire follow the common law tradition while others namely Scotland, Malta and Cyprus are more of a mixed legal tradition. Whatever methodological process one chooses to bridge the legal orders of the Member States and arrive at some form of Europeanization of private law, comparative law with its multiplicity of different ways and methods plays a very important role. Using Karhu"s method on the basic distinction that can be made on the basis whether the focal area contains norms which are valid law or whether norms are evolving using the notions of de lege lata and de lege feranda. 7 This paper first seeks to analyse what lies beneath comparative law in the development of private law at both Member State level as well as at the EU level.

The tools include cooperation, harmonization or approximation, standardization or uniformisation and finally unification. As some writers may use different connotations for each term, it is important to clarify at this stage the meaning being attributed to each of this terminology in this paper. The second section of the paper looks at the role comparative law using the above mentioned tools play in the development of European private law. This is done by looking at the two main European

Abstract Legal philosophers have long debated the question, what is law? When can we say that a society is organized as a legal order as opposed to some other type of order such as order based on religious authority, moral principles, emergent social norms, or tyranny?
