Slavery And The Early Teutonic Codes A.D. 400-800: A Legal Paradigm Shift, Elizabeth Thompson Harris

History Theses & Dissertations

This study examines the institution of slavery in the customary legal codes of seven Germanic tribes: the Burgundians, Lombards, Franks, Anglo-Saxons, Alamanni, Bavarians, and Visigoths. It describes the status of slaves within each society and assesses various factors contributing to both the recrudescence of slavery throughout the period of the invasions and its subsequent demise during the ninth and tenth centuries. The research is based primarily on the titles within the Germanic codes themselves, chronicles, contemporary Roman historical writing, and Roman legislation.

An important legal transformation made evident throughout the Germanic codes testifies to the replacement of complete subjection by …

The First Minute Book Of The Supreme Court Of The State Of Louisiana 1813 To May, 1818: An Annotated Edition, Sybil Ann Boudreaux

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

The Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana, established by the first state constitution (1812) as the only appellate court in the judicial system, commenced its work on March 1, 1813. The Court's jurisdiction was limited to civil cases. It also had control over admissions to the bar and the rules for the administration of its own business.

El Horcon: United States Territory South Of The Rio Grande, Stephen Jay Phelps

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

In 1906, the American Rio Grande Land and Irrigation Company diverted the Rio Grande, creating a U.S. enclave called El Horcon in Mexican territory. For 71 years, this tract of land was tilled by local farmers, only gaining attention towards the end of its existence.

Initially, U.S. government action in 1911 rectified immediate damage to ranchers affected by the diversion. However, ambiguity in sovereignty led to legal disputes and unauthorized cross-border activities. El Horcon's unique status allowed farmers to violate both U.S. and Mexican laws, highlighting …
