The Jury And The English Law Of Homicide, 1200-1600, Thomas A. Green Jan 1976

The Jury And The English Law Of Homicide, 1200-1600, Thomas A. Green

Articles

The early English jury was self-informing and composed of persons supposed to have first-hand knowledge of the events and persons in question. The judge instructed the jury on the law, but was himself almost entirely dependent upon the jury for his knowledge of the case. By stating the evidence in a way that made the result it wanted a necessary conclusion, the medieval jury was able to alter the impact of formal rules of law to conform with prevailing social attitudes.


Trends In The Law Of Damages, John W. Reed Jan 1976

Trends In The Law Of Damages, John W. Reed

Articles

The law of damages deals with the process of translating harm into dollars. It is not, however, a coherent body of knowledge. Rather, it consists of an amalgam of many concepts and rules having to do with fundamental policy questions about loss-shifting, risk-spreading, and allocation of functions between judge and jury. Because damages is a "non-subject," little attention is paid to it in law school curricula and there is little writing about it. As one commentator put it, the law of damages "plods its way, ignored by academicians and 'accepted' by the courts. . . . The 'winds of change' …

Knowledge And Politics, And Law In Modern Society- By Roberto Mangabeira Unger, James M. O'Fallon Jan 1976

Knowledge And Politics, And Law In Modern Society- By Roberto Mangabeira Unger, James M. O'Fallon

University of Richmond Law Review

Professor Unger has given us two striking books, which present an ununusual problem for the reviewer. The great run of books, as the great run of thought, falls into established conventions. They are concerned with elucidating aspects of the convention of which they partake, or challenging competing conventions. Reviewer and reader will usually be aware of the general outlines of the convention, leaving the reviewer with the relatively simple tasks of placing the work within the appropriate convention, and making such critical remarks as appear warranted.


The Origins Of Usus, Alan Watson Jan 1976

The Origins Of Usus, Alan Watson

Scholarly Works

It has long been recognized that the XII Tables was not a complete statement of the law, and that some topics of great legal importance were either not set out or were very partially treated. The general opinion has been, however, that the fragmentary state of our knowledge of the XII Tables' provisions makes it impossible to be precise as to the the topics not dealt with or treated only in part. Recently, though, I have tried to show that we have some information on the great majority of the clauses in the XII Tables: hence on this view, where …

British Wildlife Law Before The American Revolution: Lessons From The Past, Thomas A. Lund Nov 1975

British Wildlife Law Before The American Revolution: Lessons From The Past, Thomas A. Lund

Michigan Law Review

Early legislation may excite the condescending interest ·that Dr. Johnson directed toward a dog walking on its hind legs: "It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all." British wildlife law, however, merits more respect. As long ago as the Middle Ages, man's appetite for meat endowed legislators with at least an ambling competence at wildlife management. Nor has the passage of time made their efforts wholly irrelevant. Early methods of controlling habitat, for example, may still be appropriate since historical change has not altered the needs of animals as it has those of …

The Early Teaching Of Law In French Canada, Leon Lortie Sep 1975

The Early Teaching Of Law In French Canada, Leon Lortie

Dalhousie Law Journal

Although the Faculty of Law at the University of Montreal can be linked to the law school established by Maximilien Bibaud in 1851, Bibaud was not the first public teacher of law in French Canada. His predecessor deserves to be remembered because of the peculiar circumstances with which he had to cope.
