2:35 - "Roman law was made by professors like me" - The ten tyrants of the Decemvirs laugh on hell. How can a statement be more problematic? Are you talking about the compilation of laws made at Justinian times or the real Roman Law, created by the political struggles at the Roman Republic? There is no way a fancy university professor can be compared of the old good statemen of Roman Republic facing wars and popular unrest. At best, University Scholars can do a good compilations, like they did by the end of Middle Ages at the Glosas, and it is all. But do not make the mistake to consider such compilations the roman law, It is like to assume Kant Phylosophy is the book contained the words written by Kant. But in certains sense, an univeristy professor really looks like the old Ulpiano and others who worked compiling the laws by decree of the Emperor: both survives from public stipend

He's talking about the general principles of roman CIVIL law, that were created, developed and taught by "university" professors with ius publice respondendi, you peacock.

Very good. But should you use the infinitive with the 'to', ie "to study" after why? (in the title to the video i mean)
