Abstract
This paper is a brief summary of the Formants approach in Comparative Law. The method is defined in its basic tenets and it is analyzed in relation with the Critical Studies as a first attempt to derive newer tools to manage cross-system analysis in legal matters. In an Appendix something is suggestd about how to afford Comparative Law in the field of Cultural Studies using the theory of Complex Orders and the notion of Eliot effect.
