Gurney J: The Trial (at Large) Of The
Rev. Henry Bate, With The Previous Proc

The Trial (at Large) Of The Rev. Henry Bate, With The Previous Proceedings, Upon An Information Exhibited Against Him By His Grace The Duke Of Richmond, For A Libel

This open access book offersa cultural history of lawsuits that traces the development of French performance rights from la Belle Époque, throughthe Roaring Twenties, and into thePost-War period. It does so by analysing the ways in which performers, composers, and playwrights took to French courtrooms, sought attention in mass media, and participated in political debates to claim their rights to create and control musical and theatrical performance. In 19th-century France, composers and playwrights organised in member-run societies that successfully used authors' rights legislation to curb the power of theatre managers. By the turn of the 20th century, these so-called collective management organisations had transformed French cultural industries by building out structures of royalty collection and improving litigation practices. From the café-concert culture in 19th-century Montmartre and the rise of modern celebrity culture, to mass media and radio entertainment, the book traces precedent-setting litigation that defined who creates and controls performance. The book challenges previous narratives that centre the individualisation of authors in the expansion of the international copyright regime while neglecting performers. Instead, it reveals the ways in which the personality and individuality of performers have played a constitutive role in discourses about genius, technology, and legal categories. Performance as Intellectual Property is for anyone interested in the emergence of modern European cultural industries and the relationships between intellectual property systems, creativity, and art.

The Rights of Performers, Composers and Playwrights in France 1890-1950

Performance as Intellectual Property

Rechtsgeschichte ist nicht nur ein Orchideenfach für einige wenige Interessierte. Es ist nach wie vor eines der zentralen Grundlagenfächer im juristischen Studium, und dies nicht ohne Grund: Die Rechtsgeschichte gehört in den Kanon jener Fächer, die Selbstvergewisserung und Perspektiven einer Disziplin eröffnen. Zu verstehen, woher Rechtsinstitute kommen, welchen ursprünglichen Anwendungsbereich sie hatten und was die Gründe für ihre Entwicklung waren, hilft bei einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Rechtsfragen. Historische Informiertheit kann zu einem tieferen und damit besseren Rechtsverständnis beitragen. Diesem Ziel widmet sich das neue NomosLehrbuch zur Rechtsgeschichte. 
Erörtert wird im Schwerpunkt die deutsche Rechtsgeschichte seit der Vormoderne. Das Lehrbuch nimmt dabei Rechtsentwicklungen insgesamt in den Blick. Vermieden werden anachronistische Rückprojektionen der heutigen Disziplinen Privatrecht, Strafrecht und Öffentliches Recht. Statt Vorgeschichten zu erzählen und Kontinuitäten zu betonen, wird den Lesern ein Gefühl für die Besonderheiten der modernen Rechtsordnungen in Abgrenzung zu älteren Rechtsformen vermittelt. Insbesondere verbindet das Lehrbuch die Rechtsgeschichte mit der Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte und beschreibt Rechtsgeschichte damit in ihrem kulturellen Kontext. Das Lehrbuch vermittelt damit die Fähigkeit zu einer eigenständigen Reflexion über die bestehende Rechtsordnung, indem es unterschiedliche Lösungsansätze für Rechtsprobleme unter verschiedenen sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen aufzeigt.
Strukturprägend für das Lehrbuch sind Ereignisse, Institutionen und Thesen und weniger "große Männer" oder "große Werke". Sie werden eingebettet dargestellt in dem für eine Epoche als relevant erachteten thematischen Zusammenhang unter Verwendung möglichst neutraler Begriffe, um einen unvoreingenommenen Zugang zu ermöglichen, und um oft unreflektierte Assoziationen zu überlieferten historischen Deutungsmustern zu vermeiden.
Vertiefungsabschnitte am Ende zahlreicher Kapitel formulieren Forschungsfragen, die jeweils eine Vernetzung mit anderen Teilen des Werkes ermöglichen, sodass ein Verständnis für die größeren Zusammenhänge gefördert wird. Am Ende des Buches finden sich Wiederholungsfragen zur eigenständigen Repetition.

Seit der Vormoderne

Rechtsgeschichte

This book gives extraordinary new insights into the legal, political and industrial strife in the UK of the early 1970s, focusing on the National Industrial Relations Court and how its independence came to be injured at a time of national crisis. Constitutional and employment lawyers, and indeed anyone interested in the history of the times, will not want to be without this deeply researched yet entertaining work. When the Heath Government came to power in 1970, it set up the National Industrial Relations Court to referee highly contentious disputes between unions and employers. Regarded with hostility by the labour movement from the start, the Court and its President, Sir John Donaldson, faced mounting suspicion, and were regularly front-page news. When Donaldson jailed five dockers in 1972 - the Pentonville Five - for defying the Court's orders, strikes erupted and the docks closed. With the country's food supplies dwindling, a state of emergency loomed. How had it come to this? Could a way through be found? This is a revelatory account of the National Industrial Relations Court's defining crisis, set in the context of a wider, and frequently startling, exposition of how Donaldson went about his role as its President. Peter Oldham KC combines decades of experience as a barrister with archival research to shine a bright new light on how and why the Court found itself doing - in Donaldson's own words - 'rather peculiar things'.

'Rather Peculiar Things'

Law and Politics at the National Industrial Relations Court 1970-75

This book provides a fresh and original approach to the critical and contextual appreciation of Roman law and culture. The great 'codes', such as those of Theodosius and Justinian, have rightly assumed a canonical status in the reception of Roman law. But they are not the only sources of this law. Law finds various expression in any culture, in essays, treatises, and testaments, plays, poems and novels. This book investigates this 'other' writing of Roman law. In the process it introduces the reader to a variety of Roman orators, poets and political writers, from Cicero and Seneca to Ovid and Apuleius, Plautus and Pliny. It also introduces the reader to a variety of areas of Roman law, from matters of governance and public philosophy to the politics of family and sexuality, the regulation of religion, the proscription of sorcery and the protection of the consumer. And finally, it introduces the reader to all of the peculiarities of Roman law too, the kind with which the past always teases the present. Why did Cicero's tongue end up nailed to a board in the forum in Rome? What role did Seneca play in the murder of Nero's mother? What did Ovid see, and why did it earn the wrath of his emperor? What magic did the orator Apuleius possess, and how did he use it? And what does the spread of Christianity owe to the younger Pliny? These are just a few of the collateral questions which the reader is invited to ponder in this fresh and exciting engagement with one of the most intriguing, and influential, legal systems in world history.

Law, Literature, and the Romans

This book explores how trial lawyers, driven by self-interest, use argumentation to shape legal and ethical ideals in society through their manipulation of language, people, and objects. It argues that by employing various persuasive styles and deceptive strategies, lawyers influence juries and affect broader legal and communal values. These individual actions, while focused on client interests, collectively contribute to significant social changes in the practice and perception of law.

Interpreting The Amistad Trials traces the signal importance of interpreters and translators in the famous 19th-century Amistad case and discusses how race, ethnicity, slavery, and colonialism shaped this story. From the recruitment process to the various oral to sign languages that mediated linguistically in the Africans' life inside and outside the courtroom, and from evidentiary documents to fraudulent translations to credible testimonies, Jeanette Zaragoza-De León demonstrates the crucial importance of translation and interpretation in the Amistad plot and outcome. De León examines handwritten letters, pamphlets, newspapers, and judicial files, and adopts a critical race theory and postcolonial lens to analyze these materials. Although these critical interpretations and translations travelled transatlantically via Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, De León highlights the common thread which also geographically unites Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic as part of the Amistad story. One of the most comprehensive studies of recorded events in the history of interpretation and translation in the Americas, Interpreting The Amistad Trials is a valuable resource for researchers studying coloniality, enslavement, race and ethnic studies and examining how these issues mattered then and now.

Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? II offers readers forty-four new accessible essays on the nature of constitutional democracy and constitutional crises, how the democratic recission is being experienced throughout the world, the factors that are providing challenges for constitutional democracy, and the tools being fashioned to maintain constitutional democracy, including the possibility of more global governance. This volume informs readers of the present state of constitutional democracy throughout the world and provides them with a framework for maintaining and improving constitutional governance.

The health of constitutional democracy has not improved substantially since the publication of Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? I. Widespread concern exists about the decline of constitutional democracy around the world, a phenomenon often referred to as 'democratic recession', 'democratic failure' or 'democratic backsliding.' The United States is hurtling toward competitive authoritarianism if not at that destination. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy confront powerful authoritarian movements. Eastern European countries struggle to maintain fragile democracies, while democratic efforts in the Global South confront the legacy of colonialism. Several "feel-good" cases remain: New Zealand and Australia continue as robust constitutional democracies; Poland and possibly Hungary are undergoing democratic "U-turns" after an authoritarian turn; constitutional reform failures have not dampened democratic momentum in Chile; and Brazil's strong democratic culture enabled resistance to and ultimately the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro.

Struggles to establish, sustain, and restore constitutional democracy have not only persisted but accelerated over the past eight years, increasingly blurring the line between "episodic turbulence" and "structural rupture." Global developments now demand not just updated examples, but a re-examination of core assumptions, about what constitutes a constitutional crisis, how rapidly constitutional-democratic systems can be reoriented, which institutions matter most under stress, and what effective repair looks like once democratic injury is normalized. Recent events underscore the need to "pause and reflect on the constitutional project," which appears to be in crisis and perhaps outdated, "incapable of leading us effectively into the planetary epoch."

Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? II

A Law and Economics History

Innovation and Regulation

Eine bewegende Zeitreise in die eigene Familiengeschichte: Die Beziehung zur Mutter ist brüchig, die Verletzungen sitzen so tief, dass sie sich buchstäblich in den Körper eingeschrieben haben. Um die Last der Vergangenheit nicht an ihre eigenen Kinder weiterzugeben, stellen sich die GeschwisterDorothea und Friedrich von Borries den Lichtgestalten und Schreckgespenstern der Familiengeschichte. Sie treten in einen intensiven Dialog mit ihrer Mutter und recherchieren in Gesprächen mit Verwandten, privaten Nachlässen und Archiven jüdischen Vorfahr*innen, den Erfindern des Elektronenmikroskops, einem 'Rassenhygieniker' und einem 'Euthanasie'-Opfer hinterher - und erzählen mitreißend von den Spuren, die diejenigen hinterlassen, die vor uns kamen. Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen und hochwertiger Ausstattung.
