The Mediterranean Legacy In The Concept Of Sovereignty: A Case Of Legal And Philosophical Hybridity, Alessio Lo Giudice
The Mediterranean Legacy In The Concept Of Sovereignty: A Case Of Legal And Philosophical Hybridity, Alessio Lo Giudice
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The ideas of centralized political power and monarchy that emerged from the Mediterranean world are among the most important philosophical bases for the concept of sovereignty. My thesis is that the normative idea of an absolute, independent, and exclusive center of power originates in a complex case of philosophical hybridity. It is the outcome of the alternation between the conception of the Sovereign as representing the supreme power (the indirect theory) and the conception of the Sovereign as directly containing that power (the direct theory). The former conception is usually associated with the history of Western political culture and the …

The Role Of Judges In The Development Of Mixed Legal Systems: The Case Of Malta, Biagio Andò
The Role Of Judges In The Development Of Mixed Legal Systems: The Case Of Malta, Biagio Andò
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Mixed jurisdictions that are a historical by-product of the convergence of common and civil law traditions may give the impression of entities with stable and fixed traits. Upon a closer look however, this impression is found to be inaccurate. An analysis of court judgements is the best way to evaluate how these legal systems develop. This paper focuses on Maltese private law, which is firmly rooted in the French legal tradition. Some issues concerning private law will be discussed solely because they are significant examples of the relevance that judgements have for the development of the system, notwithstanding the fact …
From Capitulations To Unequal Treaties: The Matter Of An Extraterritorial Jurisdiction In The Ottoman Empire, Eliana Augusti
From Capitulations To Unequal Treaties: The Matter Of An Extraterritorial Jurisdiction In The Ottoman Empire, Eliana Augusti
Journal of Civil Law Studies
In the nineteenth century, justice in the Ottoman Empire appeared to international jurists deeply corrupted and far from the Western model. European consular jurisdictions, as in the past, solved this embarrassment in the prevalent and private interest of Western States in order to control the Mediterranean area. This perpetrated abjuration to recognize an autonomous and sovereign Ottoman administration of justice in civil or criminal cases in which foreigners were involved continued, in spite of the fact that the Porte provided excellent examples of intersection, reception and appropriation of foreign models to construct a new legal system, and to transform society. …

Rethinking Maltese Legal Hybridity: A Chimeric Illusion Or A Healthy Grafted European Law Mixture?, Kevin Aquilina
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Although Maltese Law is traditionally classified as a mixed system of Civil Law and Common Law, this paper suggests that it is more appropriate to do away with this designation, which is not entirely exact, and instead call it what it really is, namely, a ‘European’ legal system.
The paper proposes a typology of the Maltese legal system divided into nine distinct phases which contain traces of Civil Law, Common Law, Customary Law, Canon Law, Maltese Autochthonous Law, European Union Law, Regional Law (Mediterranean Law and, in its widest sense, European Law), Public International Law and elements of foreign national …
Judicial Training In Turkey In Light Of Constitutional Traditions And Europeanization, Simone Benvenuti
Judicial Training In Turkey In Light Of Constitutional Traditions And Europeanization, Simone Benvenuti
Journal of Civil Law Studies
In recent years, the strengthening in Turkish constitutional culture of the rule of law and pluralism appeared as a further breach of the Kemalist ideology of “sacralization” of the State. Nevertheless, the principle of statehood, characterizing the Republic of Turkey since its creation in 1923 and now affirmed in art. 1 of the Constitution still influences Turkish institutions. With regard to judicial system, while Euro-driven reforms and the application of the conditionality principle led to its modernization, the Constitution sketches an organization based on both institutional dependence and corporatism. These features are reflected also in judicial education, notwithstanding the establishment …

Article 1045 Of The Maltese Civil Code: Is Compensation For Moral Damage Compatible Therewith?, Claude Micallef-Grimaud
Article 1045 Of The Maltese Civil Code: Is Compensation For Moral Damage Compatible Therewith?, Claude Micallef-Grimaud
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The paper focuses on Article 1045 of the Maltese Civil Code regulating liquidation of compensation (damages) under Maltese tort law and examines whether or not compensation for moral damage is compatible therewith. French law and Austrian law (being the main sources of Article 1045) are analysed and contrasted with the peculiarities of Maltese tort law whilst the motivations of the original legislator (Sir Adriano Dingli) are also critically discussed. The paper subsequently examines the dichotomy between responsibility in tort and damages under Maltese tort law and concludes by analysing some selected case law.

Maltese Court Delays And The Ethnography Of Legal Practice, David E. Zammit
Maltese Court Delays And The Ethnography Of Legal Practice, David E. Zammit
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This article starts by critiquing two recent attempts to sociologically account for court delays in Mediterranean societies. The first account was produced by the sociologist David Nelken and uses the concept of legal culture to explore the causes of court delays in Italian criminal trials, while the second account was produced by the anthropologist Michael Herzfeld, who sees court delays in Crete as metonymically encapsulating a broader cultural context. It is argued that both accounts omit an important dimension of the issue, which is how such delays are produced and justified at the level of legal practice itself. By referring …

A Jurilinguistic Study Of The Trilingual Civil Code Of Québec, Jimena Andino Dorato
Journal of Civil Law Studies
L’auteure souhaite, par cet article, présenter la jurilinguistique comme une discipline en croissance pouvant apporter une approche originale à la recherche. Afin d’illustrer son propos, elle étudie les différentes étapes du processus de traduction en espagnol du Code Civil du Québec ayant mené à la publication d’un Code trilingue. Son analyse met en relief les difficultés rencontrées en cours de route par les traducteurs et réviseurs et, plus particulièrement, les spécificités de la traduction d’une loi bilingue vers une tierce langue.
The author seeks, with this article, to introduce jurilinguistics as a growing discipline that could contribute a new and …
