This book provides the first in-depth study of the crime of bigamy from the 17th century to the present day. Between 1604 and 2024, around 30,000 individuals were prosecuted for bigamy in England and Wales. A few were able to establish a defence to the charge, but most were convicted. How they were punished varied hugely across the centuries - from execution, branding, whipping, transportation, and imprisonment through to fines and community service. Double Trouble details the legal framework that underpinned such prosecutions. As a companion volume to Double Lives: Stories of Bigamy in England and Wales, 1604-2024, it sets the offence in the context of the changing laws on marriage and divorce, and examines the consequences of bigamy for those involved, including the remedies that were available to the often-deceived second spouse. Drawing on a wide array of sources from the 17th century to the present day, including formal law reports, legal treatises, newspapers, censuses, parish registers, divorce petitions and Parliamentary debates, this book shows how bigamy should be taken seriously as an offence that all too often involved deception, abandonment and heartbreak.

Bigamy and the Law in England and Wales, 1604-2024

Double Trouble

The American criminal justice system is broken – and the problem is being compounded by our mental health crisis. After confronting the failures of these systems first-hand, Judge Steve Leifman realized that for things to improve, a radical change was necessary. In 2000, he created Florida’s 11th Judicial Circuit Criminal Mental Health Project, later renamed to the Jail Diversion Project (JDP). Uniting all facets of the criminal justice system from courts to clinics, the program has become one of the most impactful models for prison reform across the country. Complete Justice reveals Judge Leifman’s courageous and visionary efforts to successfully overhaul and restructure Miami-Dade’s mental health and criminal justice systems. The results have been nothing short of miraculous. Arrests were cut in half, the jail audit was reduced by almost half, police shootings almost stopped, and the county was able to close one of its three main jails at a savings of millions of dollars. Best of all, the results shown tin the book are replicable and scalable. Leifman has created a state-of-the-art, transferable model, the “Miami Model,” that is starting to be applied around the country in communities large and small. This highly successful initiative, consisting of both pre-arrest and post-arrest diversion programs, brings together the resources and services of law enforcement, the justice system, and community stakeholders to divert individuals with mental illnesses who commit low-level offenses away from incarceration and into community-based care. Complete Justice is the inside story of development, creation, and implementation of the Miami Model - and how it can save lives anywhere and everywhere else. Starting with a trip to a psychiatric wing of a Florida jail at age 17, through his early missteps as a young judge bumping up against convoluted the mental health legislature, the formation of the JDP and monumental report on Florida’s mental health system, and finally spotlighting courts across the country adopting his program, Leifman’s inspiring work offers kindness, insight, and real solutions to one of America’s most complex social problems.

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

This edited collection explores the question of how those with limited capacity are enabled to take their part as members of society within the context of both a legal framework and the expectations of their family and community. The book is divided into three parts, firstly looking at the current legal position on incapacity in a number of jurisdictions. It discusses the recent European project FLEUR, and the associated debates developing around whether legislation dealing with incapacity should aim to support or control the vulnerable person. Secondly, the book looks at the experience of families with vulnerable members. Chapters examine developments in Australia, Spain, Bulgaria and Argentina, while part three looks at France, Turkey, Canada, the Netherlands, Poland and Ukraine. It asks questions such as: What are the contemporary demands for full financial protection by the state in the Netherlands? What can happen in an emergency? How did the Polish system provide for the needs of refugees in wartime, in the case of the recent flight from Ukraine into Poland? An important dimension is added to the debate, asking how we can provide support and control within a social network or group whose members have different aims and needs in a family or a community.

In this book, John Finnis provides a virtually unparalleled, in-depth assessment of Leon Peträycki’s work by a Western scholar. In the opening chapter, Finnis takes up the challenge of reading Peträycki not simply as a historical curiosity of Eastern European jurisprudence but as a thinker whose wide-ranging and ambitious ideas continue to spark debate today. He critiques not only Peträycki’s non-standard “economic analysis of law,” which differs markedly from the Chicago School model (not to mention from Guido Calabresi’s and Pietro Trimarchi’s versions), but also many other aspects of Peträycki’s various contributions to jurisprudence. These include, above all, his legal-realistic but nonetheless appreciative treatment of the natural-law tradition(s), which makes Peträycki both distinctive and difficult to classify in terms of standard schools of thought.
Finnis’ essay is followed by nine further contributions. Written by scholars from different traditions and standpoints, they criticize, reassess, and elaborate upon Finnis’ arguments, creating a rich and multi-voiced dialogue. The volume concludes with Finnis’ own, extensive “concluding reflections,” in which he directly responds to his fellow contributors, clarifying his original questions and replying to the challenges raised in their chapters.
This unique volume showcases Finnis’ insights, while enabling his interlocutors to highlight the depth and complexity of both Finnis’ and Peträycki’s thought, as well as broader issues – more relevant now than ever – such as the differences between Catholic natural law, Orthodox natural law, and Peträycki’s atheistic, humanistic, anti-speciesist ideal of substituting love for law and morality alike.

The SHRM Essential Guide to Employment Law

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 explores the fascinating backstories and unexpected sequels of bigamous marriages from the 17th century to the present day. A woman remarries after hearing that her husband has drowned, only for him to turn up alive and well. Is she now a criminal? A deserted husband, unable to afford a divorce, finds happiness in a new union. How many did the same? A conman advertises for a wife and then disappears with her lifesavings; he has already done the same to many other women. How was he brought to justice? These are just a few of the hundreds of bigamous remarriages put under the microscope in Double Lives. As a companion volume to Double Trouble: Bigamy and the Law in England and Wales, 1604-2024, this book goes behind the law reports to reconstruct the stories of those involved. Drawing on archival sources, pamphlets, newspapers, census data, parish registers, divorce petitions and family histories, it shows the different forms that bigamy might take - accidental, consensual, deceptive or exploitative - and how bigamists' stories in turn helped to shape the law. Double Lives shows how bigamy should not be dismissed as a comical or victimless crime. Every case had its own complex mix of desire and deception, and, all too often, heartbreak for someone.
