ACMRS Press has published an edited volume of Paul Jodrell’s Chancery Reports.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Paul Jodrell’s Chancery Reports cover the tenure of one of the most famous of all English judges, Philip Yorke, Lord Hardwicke (1690-1764). These reports were well known and well respected in their original manuscript form by Lord Eldon and by Lord Campbell, who were themselves Hardwicke’s successors on the Chancery bench a century later. The manuscript was generally known to the lawyers of the late eighteenth century and they were widely cited. The cases reported here cover a wide range of the law, concentrating on the law of real property, wills and trusts, marriage settlements, commercial law and bankruptcy, and the law of debtor and creditor. The editor has added headnotes and footnotes that identify the cases cited by the court and the reporter in order to make them more useful to the modern user.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hamilton Bryson is the Blackstone Professor of Law at the University of Richmond. He is a member of the Virginia State Bar and fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

OUP is publishing a new book on national and state authority in the US constitution.

ABOUT THE BOOK

For most of the twentieth century, the American founding has been presented as a struggle between social classes over issues arising primarily within, rather than outside, the United States. But in recent years, new scholarship has instead turned to the international history of the American union to interpret both the causes and the consequences of the US Constitution.

In Perfecting the Union, Max M. Edling argues that the Constitution was created to defend US territorial integrity and the national interest from competitors in the western borderlands and on the Atlantic Ocean, and to defuse inter-state tension within the union. By replacing the defunct Articles of Confederation, the Constitution profoundly transformed the structure of the American union by making the national government more effective. But it did not transform the fundamental purpose of the union, which remained a political organization designed to manage inter-state and international relations. And in contrast to what many scholars claim, it was never meant to eclipse the state governments.

The Constitution created a national government but did not significantly extend its remit. The result was a dual structure of government, in which the federal government and the states were both essential to the people's welfare. Getting the story about the Constitution straight matters, Edling claims, because it makes possible a broader assessment of the American founding as both a transformative event, aiming at territorial and economic expansion, and as a conservative event, aiming at the preservation of key elements of the colonial socio-political order.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Max M. Edling is Reader in Early American History at the King's College, London. He is the author of A Revolution in Favor of Government: The Origin of the US Constitution and the Making of the American State and A Hercules in the Cradle: War, Money, and the American State, 1783-1867.

ABOUT THE BOOK

De l’organisation de l’Empire romain, jusqu’aux réalités et problématiques actuelles, telle l’intercommunalité, les deux notions de centre et périphérie paraissent indissociables. Les interactions entre un centre et ses périphéries jouent un rôle considérable dans la construction d’un système politique et administratif. La métaphore géométrique est ainsi fréquemment utilisée pour décrire les liens multiples entre un centre fort et les secteurs périphériques qui sont sous son effective domination, ceux qu’il cherche à dominer voire à intégrer. Par la-même, c’est l’histoire des rapports de force, des résistances et libertés locales, mais aussi des compromis et complémentarités qui s’invite dans la présente étude. A travers une présentation spatiale, chronologique et thématique large, l’objet de cet ouvrage est ainsi d’observer et de penser le point de rencontre. Pour cela, il s’avère nécessaire de saisir le concept de centralité, entendu tant du point de vue symbolique que pratique, dans ses multiples approches, politiques, culturelles, religieuses, économiques et celui de périphérie dont la définition est des plus fluctuante et la théorisation délicate. La dialectique centre et périphérie offre aux juristes le moyen de bâtir un paradigme, un instrument qui leur permet d’analyser un système concret et dynamique complexe dans des termes simples : division, opposition, domination, ordre, désordre… Cet outil a également ses limites qu’il convient d’identifier.

We learned of the publication of the book Estoppel w angloamerykańskim prawie prywatnym (title in English: Estoppel in Anglo-American Private Law).

ABOUT THE BOOK

The book attempts to analyze the status of several Anglo-American legal doctrines referred to as equitable estoppel, promissory estoppel, and proprietary estoppel. It examines the English, American and Australian law from the 18th century onwards. The book draws analogies to legal devices detectable in continental civil law and characterized by the goal similar to that performed by various types of estoppel. Among these devices there may be listed those found in the European harmonization projects (PECL, DCFR, CESL) as well as those found in the national civil codes, and specifically such as principle of good faith and fair dealing or the prohibition on the abuse of rights.

Common law jurisdictions recognize a number of specific estoppel doctrines. The latter prevent the negative effects of an inconsistent conduct of the other party and counteract the occurrence of detriment or other negative consequences (often referred to by a vague notion of ‘unconscionability’) resulting from the party’s reliance on the other party’s inconsistent conduct.

Estoppels are used today as ‘safety valves’ in almost all fields of Anglo-American private law. The courts apply them to settle accounts for the expenditures made on someone else’s property and also to protect the addressees of formally defective promises (made in breach of the statute of frauds) as well as to protect the parties to the negotiations that did not lead to the contract’s conclusion. Estoppels can also be found in family-law relations as a device to settle the accounts of former cohabitants or to modify the partition of the deceased’s estate.

Despite the broad scope of its application, the law on estoppels is far from being settled. Significant differences occur in its interpretation under various jurisdictions. While in English law the promissory estoppel might be used only as a defence (‘a shield’), the American and Australian law recognize it as an independent cause of action (‘a sword’). There are many controversies and disputes that are currently taking place both in the courts and in the scholarship. They lead to legal uncertainty and unpredictability of decisions. The book attempts to discuss these issues and sometimes point to potential solutions.

Trazemos ao público de língua portuguesa a tradução de “’Não Julgueis’: antropologia da justiça e figuras da opinião pública entre os séculos XIX e XX”, escrito pelo professor Luigi Lacchè, catedrático de História do Direito e ex-reitor da Universidade de Macerata, na Itália. A presente obra, originalmente publicada em italiano, já foi traduzida para o alemão e para o espanhol e é fruto de conferência realizada em 2008 para o curso de História da Justiça na Universidade de Nápoles.

Partindo da literatura e passando pela tradição cristã, pela filosofia e pela crônica jornalista chega até a história do direito, construindo uma visão integrada de “o penal”, concepção cunhada pelo mestre do professor Lacchè e um dos principais historiadores do direito penal do século XX, Mario Sbriccoli.

[…] A abordagem do autor é fruto de longa meditação acerca da construção de uma narrativa historiográfica adequada à complexidade da questão penal. Esta, como visto, apresenta-se mais enquanto um caleidoscópio do que propriamente um monólito. É justamente na variedade de fontes que é possível, senão necessário, reconstruir o penal.

[…] A disponibilização deste texto do professor Lacchè em nosso idioma pode nos estimular a apostar em tal perspectiva da História do Direito, que ultrapassa o basilar — muito necessário em uma área em formação — estudo das grandes legislações, dos principais institutos doutrinários e da praxe tribunalícia.

Luigi Lacchè is professor of legal history at the University of Macerata

Routledge is publishing a book on cultures of law in urban Northern Europe during the period 1350-1650.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Drawing together an international team of historians, lawyers and historical sociolinguists, this volume investigates urban cultures of law in Scotland, with a special focus on Aberdeen and its rich civic archive, the Low Countries, Norway, Germany and Poland from c. 1350 to c. 1650.

 

In these essays, the contributors seek to understand how law works in its cultural and social contexts by focusing specifically on the urban experience and, to a great extent, on urban records. The contributions are concerned with understanding late medieval and early modern legal experts as well as the users of courts and legal services, the languages and records of law, and legal activities occurring inside and outside of official legal fora. This volume considers what the expectations of people at different status levels were for the use of the law, what perceptions of justice and authority existed among different groups, and what their knowledge was of law and legal procedure. By examining how different aspects of legal culture came to be recorded in writing, the contributors reveal how that writing itself then became part of a culture of law.

 

Cultures of Law in Urban Northern Europe: Scotland and its Neighbours c.1350–c.1650 combines the historical study of law, towns, language, and politics in a way that will be accessible and compelling for advanced level undergraduates and postgraduate to postdoctoral researchers and academics in medieval and early modern, urban, legal, political, and linguistic history.

Edizioni Universita di Macerata has published “Alberico Gentili. Libro di varie letture virgiliane al figlio Roberto”.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Il Lectionis Virgilianae Variae Liber ad Robertum filium di Alberico Gentili (Hanau, 1603) è un commento pedagogico e giuridico alle Bucoliche di Virgilio scritto da Gentili per suo figlio Roberto. Quest'opera, finora mai tradotta né in italiano, né in altre lingue, costituisce un punto di vista privilegiato per comprendere la figura di Gentili "umanista", strenuo difensore non solo della poesia virgiliana ma, più in generale, del valore eminentemente pedagogico-morale del lavoro di ermeneutica testuale.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Bollettino STAS (2019). «Il cammino delle terre comuni». Dalle leggi liquidatorie degli usi civici al riconoscimento costituzionale dei domini collettivi: Pochi mesi dopo l'emanazione della legge 168 del 20 novembre 2017, Simone Rosati ha avuto immediatamente l'intuizione di organizzare una giornata che consentisse un confronto interdisciplinare tra studiosi sui controversi aspetti relativi alla disciplina degli usi civici. Non siamo riusciti nell'immediato, ma già nel 2018 avevamo per questo progetto l'appoggio del MIBACT. Tanti i moventi che hanno motivato questa scelta, come il curatore ben illustra nelle pagine successive. Tra tutti, tengo a sottolineare anche in questa sede che la S.T.A.S. è custode di un immenso patrimonio archivistico, una fucina inesauribile di informazioni, strumento imprescindibile per la ricostruzione delle vicende storiche del territorio. Sarà potuto sembrare a molti che il tema trattato nel convegno esuli le finalità statutarie del nostro sodalizio, in verità, il valore di questa legge è altresì culturale, dal momento che essa riconosce le proprietà collettive quali "patrimonio identitario delle comunità locali".

ABOUT THE BOOK
Ce livre souligne le rôle joué par la représentation symbolique dans les pratiques politiques et il éclaire, à partir d’une large palette d’exemples, les pratiques parlementaires médiévales et modernes. Il étudie les différentes manières de représenter le peuple par des procédures inscrites dans la loi ou, au contraire, apparues lors de périodes de révoltes. Ces contributions d’historiens et de politistes spécialistes de la représentation politique au sein d’espaces variés (France, Aragon, Saint-Empire, Suède, péninsule italienne, Chine, etc.) aux époques médiévale et moderne invitent à mieux évaluer, par contraste, la signification de la démocratie représentative contemporaine.

Please find here a summary of the event “Capitalism in Motion”, an online discussion on the development of capitalism to which several legal historians also contributed.

The GiD Lab online panel discussion “Capitalism in Motion. Imagining, Transforming, and Inventing Economic Forms over Time” demonstrated how the views of historians and scholars might contribute to the discussion on the development of capitalism over several centuries and into the modern era. Topics of discussion addressed in particular were the rise of business corporations in the medieval Mediterranean world and beyond, the invention and replication of economic tools – such as money, contracts and joint stock companies – and how the transformation and migration of key components of capitalism occurred across geographies, between cultures and over time. The event took place on 5 November 2020 at the Berlin Science Week and was organized by the German Historical Institute in Rome (GHI Rome) and the Central Office of the Max Weber Foundation in Bonn (MWS). In case you missed it, you can find a short event report by Madeleine Winkler and the recording here.

Editorial Aranzadi has published « De la honestidad a la integridad sexual. La formación del Derecho penal sexual español en el marco de la cultura occidental (Dúo) »

ABOUT THE BOOK

¿Cómo es posible que un ámbito tan sensible a la moral y usos sociales como el de la sexualidad haya podido permanecer tan estable en el ordenamiento penal español a lo largo de un siglo y medio tan complejo y convulso (1848-1978)? ¿A qué se debe esa estabilidad o continuidad en un periodo tan cambiante política, cultural y socialmente? ¿Y a qué se debieron los cambios que tuvieron lugar a partir de finales de los años setenta? Una respuesta rápida y algo simplista podría ser la de remitirse al influjo de la religión en un país mayoritariamente creyente con respecto a la etapa continuista (1848-1878), y a los efectos de la Transición y al inicio del nuevo régimen democrático, con sus derechos y libertades reconocidos constitucionalmente, con respecto al periodo más reformista iniciado a finales de los años setenta. Algo de verdad hay en esa tesis, pero, así expresada, resulta incompleta y, en parte, incluso Combatiendo la violencia contra la muje falseada. A fin de responder a estas -y otras-cuestiones de un modo crítico y ecuánime, el autor del presente libro realiza un análisis exhaustivo de las fuentes -tanto jurídicas como no jurídicas- que permita entender y explicar la evolución del Derecho penal sexual español en el marco de la cultura occidental, llegando hasta el estudio del régimen vigente, con sus luces y sus sombras, así como de la propuesta de reforma aprobada por el Consejo de Ministros de 3 de marzo del presente año, presentada como respuesta al controvertido caso de ‘La Manada’.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Collana: Pubblicazioni del Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza dell'Università degli Studi di Cagliari - Serie II, vol. 26.

Interrogarsi sulla sanctitas legatorum, e specialmente sull’indipendenza giurisdizionale dei diplomatici durante l’età moderna, non significa solo far emergere contenuti e limiti a essa assegnati dai “costruttori” del diritto delle genti. Considerato che il riconoscimento della tutela dei moderni ambasciatori scaturiva dall’esigenza di garantire la libera comunicazione tra Stati, è opportuno allargare lo studio al diritto di legazione attivo e passivo per mettere in luce il fondamentale ruolo che esso ha svolto. Grazie al suo esercizio le organizzazioni politiche si scoprivano parte della communitas, riconoscendosi e legittimandosi reciprocamente. In più, la progressiva diffusione delle ambascerie permanenti, anche in forza della loro stabilizzazione e istituzionalizzazione, ha permesso al jus legationis di ottenere puntuali informazioni politiche utili alla ricerca di nuovi equilibri e di contribuire alla formazione di una parte notevole del patrimonio normativo comune. È per questo che le peculiari concezioni sulla communitas e sul suo ordinamento costituiscono l’irrinunciabile orizzonte di senso anche per chi si occupa delle prerogative diplomatiche.

We received notice of a call for papers for the 2ndedition of the Iustoria conference at the University of Belgrade. Here the call:

The University of Belgrade Faculty of Law is now receiving paper proposals for the Second student conference on legal history – the Iustoria 2021, to be held on the 25th and 26th of March, 2021, its topic being “Law and Religion”

The reason for the topic is the fact that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the Vidovdan (St. Vitus’ Day) Constitution of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1921), which, among many other changes, was the first in this region to introduce multi-confessionalism instead of one state religion. The question of the relationship between the state and the church and the position of different religious denominations in the modern state is certainly still relevant today; however, the connection between law and religion has lasted since time immemorial. The emergence of the first norms of primitive law is predominantly related to religious commandments and taboos. Most legal systems of the Antiquity have noticeable connections with religion – from irrational means of proof such as ordeals and oaths, through contractualformalism in the old ius civile, to special regulations on the position of the clergy. Monotheistic religions bring with them a different view of society and law, and many new topics, such as the relationship between secular and religious regulations, the influence of religious norms on everyday social relations (especially marital and family relations) or the punishment of crimes against religion. In all societies, one can speak to a greater or lesser extent about the issue of the legal position of members of other religions, but it is monotheism, together with numerous religious conflicts and schisms, that intensifies this issue. The colonial expansion of the Western powers also raises the question of the attitude of (Christian) colonizers towards the religions of the conquered population. And the modern age also brings states that separate themselves from religion – whether it is a matter of distancing in the form of secularism, or a conflict characteristic of communist states. We’re looking forward to applications on all of these and many other issues related to the main topic!

All students of graduate and post-graduate studies pertaining to law or other humanities are eligible to apply for the conference. The applications should contain basic personal information (name and surname, faculty, department, level and year of study), along with an extended abstract containing anywhere between 500 and 1000 words. Applications are accepted in either Serbian or English.

The applications should be e-mailed to iustoria@ius.bg.ac.rs before the 15th of January, 2021. The students will be informed by the 25th of January whether or not their application has been accepted. A provisional programme for the conference will be announced by the 1st of February. Drafts of the chosen papers need to be sent by the 15th of March. For any additional information you may enquire at the same e-mail address, or consult the official Facebook page of the conference – https://www.facebook.com/iustoria/

Just like on last year’s conference, apart from the presentations given by their colleagues, the students at the conference will have an opportunity to attend several lectures given by renowned experts – more details on this will be available in the final version of the programme.

Given the fact that the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic is still uncertain, we will make a decision by the 25th of February whether the conference will be held live or online. If it is held live, we’ll do our best to secure accomodations either in student dorms or with student host families for those participants who don’t reside in Belgrade. These arrangements will depend on the number of available spots.

The final versions of the papers presented at the conference, with final changes and corrections submitted within a reasonable time after the conference, will be submitted for publication in the journal „Vesnik pravne istorije / Herald of Legal History“.Herald of Legal History”.

We received the following update on the 39th Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Law and History Society’s annual conference:

39th Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Law and History Society

Join us for an intensive 1 day world-wide gathering devoted to law in history

9 December 2020

Hosted by Event Services at the University of Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand

Keynote plenary sessions will feature

Joshua Getzler, Oxford University, on “ Six Nations of the Grand River, military feudalism, and the roots of ‘honour of the Crown’.”

Miranda Johnson, Otago University, on “Reckoning with a Pacific empire state: Race, nation, citizenship and the idea of New Zealand.”

A Closing Address by Dame Sian Elias, former Chief Justice of New Zealand

The organisers have accepted 39 individual papers and 7 panel presentations. They will be run in four concurrent parallel sessions throughout the day. The programme will be uploaded to the ANZLHS website page shortly: https://anzlhs.org/conferences-2/

The timings will be specified according to the NZDT time zone – which is UTC+13. We have attempted to time presentations so that are as reasonable as possible for the presenters (but will be difficult for some). The conference will begin at 9.00am and conclude at 7.00pm NZDT

To cover Event Services charges, and to ensure a high quality of digital platform delivery utilising Zoom, Vimeo and Twilio, we are asking all attendees to pay a modest registration fee. In addition, the rules of the ANZLHS require all presenters to pay the Society’s 2020 annual subscription. So ‘full member registration’ applies to presenters who have paid the 2020 Society subscription in advance; ‘full non-member registration’ applies to presenters (some of whom will have been members in the past) who have not yet paid the 2020 Society subscription. We are waiving registration fees for postgraduate student presenters. The portal for registrations will be launched shortly through the website page. The cost for registration is as follows in $NZ:

Full member registration: $130; Full non-member registration: $ 215; Full-time post graduate presenters: Fee waiver; Attendance only registration: $130

Graduate students are invited to apply for Kercher Scholarships. Five scholarship awards will be made that may adorn your cv even though there is no monetary element to the scholarship this year. Please apply to Katherine Sanders: k.sanders@auckland.ac.nz by 20 November if you have not already applied. Graduate attendees may also wish to enter their paper for the Forbes Society Prize. The Society’s peer-reviewed journal law&history will consider submissions from those who present papers at the conference. In the meantime further information about the conference may be gleaned from David Williams: dv.williams@auckland.ac.nz
