Cyprus As A Mixed Legal System, Nikitas E. Hatzimihail
Cyprus As A Mixed Legal System, Nikitas E. Hatzimihail
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Cyprus presents us with its own kind of a mixed legal system: its private law is mostly common law, long codified in statutes. Its public law derives from the continental tradition. Procedural law is purely common law—a major factor in the mutation of the “continental” elements of the legal system. The state of play is affected by the split in the legal profession between continental- and English-educated lawyers (a split acquiring generational and subject-matter dimensions). The bulk of legislation and legal institutions have a distinctively colonial and/or post-colonial flavor. However, the country and the legal elites identify with, and are …

Scalia & Garner’S Reading Law: A Civil Law For The Age Of Statutes?, James R. Maxeiner
Scalia & Garner’S Reading Law: A Civil Law For The Age Of Statutes?, James R. Maxeiner
Journal of Civil Law Studies
In Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and American legal lexicographer Bryan A. Garner challenge Americans to start over in dealing with statutes in the Age of Statutes. They propose “textualism,” i.e., “that the words of a governing text are of paramount concern, and what they convey in their context is what the text means.” Textualism is meant to remedy the American lack of “a generally agreed-on approach to the interpretation of legal texts.” That deficiency makes American law unpredictable, unequal, undemocratic and political. In the book’s Foreword, Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook …

Transfer Of Immovable And Systems Of Publicity In The Western World: An Economical Approach, Luz M. Martínez Velencoso
Transfer Of Immovable And Systems Of Publicity In The Western World: An Economical Approach, Luz M. Martínez Velencoso
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This paper aims to analyse the norms pertaining to the transfer and publicity of property rights from an economic perspective. It is a characteristic of this analysis that it puts the rules that regulate these rights in relation with their associated negotiation costs. This offers a new approach to the examination of the definition, content, and transfer of these rights. Legal norms that minimize the problem of conflicts of ownership increase the value of property in the hands of its owners. One of the instruments oriented to reduce uncertainties of this type is the Land Register, which promotes the exchange …
Anything But Common: The Role Of Louisiana’S Civilian Tradition In The Development Of Federal Civil Rights Jurisprudence Under The Fourteenth Amendment, Jared Bianchi
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The famed Slaughterhouse Cases were the first cases to interpret the Fourteenth Amendment. Those cases arose from a Louisiana controversy. This essay suggests that Fourteenth Amendment jurisprudence, including Substantive Due Process, is rooted in the civilian private law tradition as received in Louisiana and as argued by the butchers in the Slaughterhouse Cases. The essay explores the civil law roots of the Privileges and Immunities Clause, beginning with the Twelve Tables and the Code of Justinian. The essay explores how those early codes were appreciated by subsequent Louisiana jurists, and how the civil law approach became an integral part …
