Leuven University Press Wissensordnungen des Rechts im Wandel:
Book SynopsisBetween 1000 and 1215, the knowledge of canon law changed fundamentally. Although ecclesiastic rules of law had been linearly collected by 1000, they had evolved into complex, highly interlinked carriers of knowledge by 1215. By carefully examining manuscript transmission, this book elucidates the evolution of legal knowledge, taking papal jurisdictional primacy and clerical celibacy as an illustrative example. Furthermore, it shows the influence the artes liberales and rhetoric had on the organisation of canon law. This study thus offers fascinating insights into the origins of canon law as an academic discipline, thereby also demonstrating the diversity and multi-layeredness of legal knowledge in the High Middle Ages. Die Studie untersucht die Ordnung des mittelalterlichen Rechtswissens in vorgratianischen Sammlungen, dem Decretum Gratiani sowie den Glossen und Summen zum Dekret. Im Mittelpunkt steht also das kirchenrechtliche Wissen, das sich zwischen 1000 und 1215 grundlegend anderte: Wahrend kirchliche Rechtsregeln um 1000 in Kanonessammlungen linear gespeichert waren, wurden sie im 12. Jahrhundert zu komplexem Rechtswissen miteinander verknupft. Auf Basis einer umfassenden Auswertung der handschriftlichen UEberlieferung wird der Wandel des Rechtswissens anhand des papstlichen Jurisdiktionsprimats und des Zoelibats analysiert. Zudem zeigt die Untersuchung den Einfluss der artes liberales und der Rhetorik bei der Ordnung kirchlicher Normen. Die Studie gibt so einen faszinierenden Einblick in die Entstehung der Kanonistik und zeigt zugleich die Vielfaltigkeit und Vielschichtigkeit des juristischen Wissens im Hochmittelalter.Trade ReviewAt just over five hundred pages of text, the book may appear daunting at first. However, frequent recapitulation and a methodical structure help the reader stay focused on the big picture and make for an easy read. Specialists in canon law, and legal and intellectual historians in general, will find much to praise in Dusil’s wide-ranging study.John Burden, Speculum 95/1 (January 2020), doi:10.1086/706554The merit of Dusil’s work is to be found in the fact that he is the first to explore knowledge related to canon law. By doing so, the author has broken new ground in the research on the science of canon law in the High Middle Ages. Even though scholars have shown interest in questions and approaches of the history of methods for some time, the notion of knowledge has not been included systematically in these considerations. In this respect, Dusil’s work offers an innovative approach to the sources of canon law, especially those of the High Middle Ages.Philipp N. Spahn, Rechtsgeschichte - Legal History, Rg 27 (2019), http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/rg27/315-316Stephan Dusil shows throughout his ‘magnum opus’ that he has mastered very well the large research tradition his study is related to. He not only discusses with the long and large tradition of study of different canonical collections, but he also knows the discussions regarding various manuscripts and manuscript traditions regarding each of the used collections. Additionally, he is well read in history of law, history of the Catholic Church, as well as medieval society. In addition to the long list of literature, the list of used sources—both in edited and manuscript form—shows that author knows well the medieval source tradition he is trying to explain.Kirsi Salonen, Bulletin of Medieval Canon Law, Volume 36, 2019Les spécialistes d’histoire intellectuelle et les historiens des mentalités autant que les historiens du droit liront avec plaisir et profit le savant livre de Stephan Dusil, dont le style élégant met à la portée de chacun la subtilité du raisonnement et l’érudition déployées.Franck Roumy, Francia recensio, 2019 | 2, DOI: https://doi.org/10.11588/frrec.2019.2.62795Historians of medieval schools and the disciplines of theology, philosophy, the liberal arts, and Roman law should all give attention to D.’s research; it helps us understand not just how canon law could start to develop as its own discipline but how intellectual culture as a whole could so fundamentally change between 1000 and 1200. Atria A. Larson, Mittellateinisches Jahrbuch, Band 55 (2020), Heft 1The history of canon law can no longer be told as a succession from one figure or collection to the next; Dusil has given an excellent example of the type of scholarship that acknowledges and explains a much more complicated, intertwined reality.Atria A. Larson, Law and History Review May 2020, Vol. 38, No. 2, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0738248020000139Vorgeführt worden sind wenige Beispiele von den Erkenntnissen, die der Autor aufgrund seiner gründlichen, minutiösen Detailarbeiten gewonnen hat. Die Ergebnisse sind solide und, selbst wenn sie nicht durchweg spektakulär sein könnten, überzeugend. Schließlich ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass die Begriffe ‚Wissen‘ und ‚Ordnung‘ wohl nicht nur für die künftige Forschung der Geschichte des kanonischen Rechts aufschlussreich sein, sondern auch die Teilnahme der historischen Kanonistik an der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit fruchtbar machen werden. Als Beispiel sei hier auf die interdisziplinäre Glossenforschung abgehoben, welche die Glossierung als ein verschiedenen Kulturen gemeinsames Phänomen betrachtet.Tatsushi Genka, Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte: Kanonistische Abteilung | Volume 106, Issue 1, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1515/zrgk-2020-0019Table of ContentsVorwort EinleitungKapitel 1: Wissen über Jurisdiktionsprimat und Zölibat.

Amsterdam University Press Supreme Courts Under Nazi Occupation
Book SynopsisThis is the first extensive treatment of leading judicial institutions under Nazi rule in WWII. It focusses on all democratic countries under German occupation, and provides the details for answering questions like: how can law serve as an instrument of defence against an oppressive regime? Are the courts always the guardians of democracy and rule of law? What role was there for international law? How did the courts deal with dismissals, new appointees, new courts, forced German ordinances versus national law? How did judges justify their actions, help citizens, appease the enemy, protest against injustice? Experts from all democracies that were occupied by the Nazis paint vivid pictures of oppression, collaboration, and resistance. The results are interpreted in a socio-legal framework introducing the concept of ‘moral hygiene’ to explain the clash between normative and descriptive approaches in public opinion and scholarship concerning officials’ behaviour in war-time.Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgements List of Tables List of illustrations 1.

Amsterdam University Press Scripting Justice in Late Medieval Europe: Legal
Book SynopsisLate medieval societies witnessed the emergence of a particular form of socio-legal practice and logic, focused on the law court and its legal process. In a context of legal pluralism, courts tried to carve out their own position by influencing people’s conception of what justice was and how one was supposed to achieve it. These “scripts of justice” took shape through a range of media, including texts, speech, embodied activities and the spaces used to perform all these. Looking beyond traditional historiographical narratives of state building or the professionalization of law, this book argues that the development of law courts was grounded in changing forms of multimedial interaction between those who sought justice and those who claimed to provide it. Through a comparative study of three markedly different types of courts, it involves both local contexts and broader developments in tracing the communication strategies of these late medieval claimants to socio-legal authority.Trade Review"Met Scripting justice levert Camphuijsen ontegensprekelijk een waardevolle bijdrage aan de bestaande historiografie rond de institutionalisering van rechtbanken in het laatmiddeleeuwse Europa." -- Falco Van der Schueren, Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis, Vol.135, Issue 2/3Table of ContentsList of figures, maps, plans and timelines Acknowledgements Introduction 1.

City University of Hong Kong Press More When I Know You Better: The Life of Albert
Book SynopsisFocusing on Albert Sanguinetti from his early life to his retirement from the legal sector, including his tenures in Gibraltar, Kenya, and Hong Kong, this biography provides an in-depth view of the life of a prominent figure in the legal field in the late twentieth century. It is written from an objective, external viewpoint and paints a colourful and lively picture of Sanguinetti in a voice that could almost be his own. Using Sanguinetti's life experiences, the biographer touches on various historical events, including the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya and the 1957 riots in Hong Kong, and details the social and political problems of the times, such as lingering colonialism, class structure issues, and human rights violations, among others. These glimpses of history through Sanguinetti's eyes are accessible, thought-provoking, and truly representative of the man himself.Offering a well-rounded image of the eccentric subject, this book fulfils Sanguinetti's common response to questions about both his personal and professional life — "more when I know you better". It will undoubtedly be of interest to those who knew Sanguinetti as well as legal professionals, young barristers, and readers with an interest in post-war history in Gibraltar, Kenya, and especially Hong Kong.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Childhood on the RockChapter 2 Scattered by WarChapter 3 London CallingChapter 4 A Different Kind of ColonyChapter 5 Home to Higher OfficeChapter 6 Hong Kong: On the BenchChapter 7 To the BarChapter 8 Riot and ReformChapter 9 Hard Work and High PointsChapter 10 Two ReportsChapter 11 The Golden YearsChapter 12 Retirement

Central European University Press Expanding Intellectual Property: Copyrights and
Book SynopsisThe book deals with the expansion and institutionalization of intellectual property norms in the twentieth century, with a European focus. Its thirteen chapters revolve around the transfer, adaptation and the ambivalence of legal transplants in the interface between national and international projects, trends and contexts. The first part discusses the institutionalization of copyright and patent law in the framework of the bigger political and economic projects of the twentieth century. The second and third parts of the collection review relevant processes in the communist regimes and the post-communist societies, respectively. The essays point at processes of enculturation, trans-nationalization and universalization of norms, as well as practices of incorporation and resistance. The contributors lay a particular emphasis on the role and activity of social actors in the establishment and validation of intellectual property norms and regimes, from the function of experts and creation of expert cultures to the compelling power of popular street protests.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Hannes Siegrist and Augusta Dimou I The Institutionalization of Intellectual Property Rights between National and International Contexts 1 Intellectual Property Rights and the Dynamics of Propertization, Nationalization, and Globalization in Modern Cultures and Economies Hannes Siegrist 2 Power and Development: The Revision Conferences of 1967 and 1971 of the Berne Convention and the Universal Copyright Convention Jonas Görtz 3 Legal Designs: Danish Designers as Court-Appointed Experts and the Expansion of the Concept of Copyright Stina Teilmann-Lock 4 Intellectual Property and Competition Policy: Patent Pooling and Industrial Concentration in Germany (1890–1930) Louis Pahlow 5 The Melting Pot of Copyright Law: Urheberrecht in Jerusalem Michael Birnhack 6 “Aryanization” Expanded?

Central European University Press People in Spite of History: Stories Found in an
Book SynopsisThree generations of a family of lawyers have run a firm founded in 1893 in the small city of Becskerek (today in Serbian Zrenjanin), first part of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg monarchy, then Hungary, then Yugoslavia, then for a while under German occupation, then again part of Yugoslavia and finally Serbia. In the Banat district of the province of Vojvodina, the multiplicity of languages and religions and changes of place-names was a matter of course. What is practically unprecedented, all files, folders and documents of the law office have survived. They concern marriages, divorces, births and testaments, as well as expulsions, emigrations, incarcerations and releases of these largely rural and small-town dwellers. Mundane cases reflect times through war, peace, revolution and counter-revolution, through serfdom and freedom, through comfort and poverty. The files also show everyday lives shaped in spite of history. Tibor Várady transforms them into affecting and vivid vignettes, selecting and commenting without sentimentality but with empathy. The law office of the three generations of the Várady family demonstrates that the legal profession permits and in difficult times even requires its members to defend the ordinary men and women against the powers of state and society.Trade Review"Várady earlier published accounts of some of these case files, first in Hungarian in 2013, then in Serbian in 2015, and then in German in 2016. Anglophones are fortunate now to have access. For a social historian, interest lies in what the cases reveal about the life of a multi-ethnic community living through difficult times. A lawyer reading the book will wonder how s/he would have dealt with the situations that confronted the Várady law firm. An introduction by Professor Richard Buxbaum, former editor of the American Journal of Comparative Law, notes the book’s broader importance. It could well serve as a model for writers on law and social history, even those who do not have elders who practiced law through two world wars and one social revolution." -- John Quigley * Law and History Review *"The book reveals new sides of institutions and regimes, a pragmatic side to German officials’ legal decision-making that sometimes conflicted with their racial agendas and a complexity to communist revolutionary policies as lived experience. The result is a book in which we, as readers, feel as though we are accompanying the author to his attic, unpacking boxes, and making sense of the people whose lives comprised this tumultuous and devastating moment in the region’s history." https://doi.org/10.1017/slr.2023.29 -- Emily Greble * Slavic Review *Table of ContentsFOREWORD by Richard Buxbaum What is This Book about?

Central European University Press The Beginnings of Anti-Jewish Legislation: The
Book SynopsisThe Nazi 1933 Civil Service Law and the 1935 Nuremberg Laws are often considered the first anti-Jewish decrees in interwar Europe. Mária M. Kovács convincingly argues that Hungary’s numerus clausus law of 1920, which introduced a Jewish quota at Hungary’s institutions of higher learning, was, in fact, interwar Europe’s first antisemitic law. By defining—and discriminating against—Jews as a separate “racial” or “national” group, it abrogated the principle of equal rights that had been enshrined into law; as such, it marked an abrupt reversal of Jewish emancipation in Hungary. Moreover, the numerus clausus law set the stage for subsequent “Jewish Laws” (in the late 1930s and early 1940s) that sought to solve Hungary’s “Jewish Question” by means of extraordinary legal measures that targeted Jews alone. This book examines the origins and implementation of the numerus clausus, as well as the attempts to dampen its impact on Hungary’s international reputation, focusing on the debates surrounding it promulgation (1920), its modification (1928) and its eventual application to other areas of Jewish life (1938–45).Table of ContentsForeword to the English Translation Foreword Introduction Chapter 1: The Genesis of the Law Chapter 2: The First Decade of the Numerus Clausus and the Racial Clause Chapter 3: The Amendment of the Numerus Clausus Law and the Restoration of the Explicit Jewish Quota Chronology Appendixes Bibliography Index
