Studien zum ausländischen und internationalen Privatrecht

Anne Hermle analyzes the development of Spanish bankruptcy law from the thirteenth century to the 
 Ley Concursal
 of 2003. Her study focuses on identifying the central lines of development and on precisely distinguishing between genuinely Spanish legal innovations and foreign influences. Her approach, based on legal history and comparative law, demonstrates how Castilian norms shaped later Spanish law and which European legal systems exerted influence upon it. The author elucidates the fundamental structures of Castilian insolvency law-from debt bondage and the surrender of assets, through their problematic combination in the 
 Nueva Recopilación
 , to the emergence of an independent commercial bankruptcy regime. She shows that the lived legal practice of the seventeenth century diverged dynamically from the formal statutory framework and was systematized by authors such as Salgado de Somoza. Particular attention is devoted to the 
 Ordenanzas de Bilbao
 . Hermle examines their significance as the first systematic codification within the Spanish commercial sphere and refutes the assumption that they merely adopted French models. The codification efforts of the nineteenth century are likewise analyzed, including the influences of the French 
 Code de Commerce
 as well as Belgian and Portuguese reform initiatives. Overall, the study reveals the development of bankruptcy law as a reflection of political and social transformations. It closes existing research gaps by presenting the entire historical trajectory in a coherent form and situating it within a broader European context.

Diese Studie untersucht die Idee des "Schuldnerschutzes" im Hinblick auf ihre römischen Wurzeln und ihre Weiterentwicklung in modernen Rechtsystemen. Sie konzentriert sich auf den Begriff "favor debitoris" in den antiken Quellen selbst - bzw. auf seine Abwesenheit in denselben - und vergleicht ihn mit anderen "favores", die in den juristischen Texten nachweisbar sind. Igor Adamczyk kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Römer sich von einem Prinzip des Schuldnerschutzes nicht leiten ließen. Das bedeutet aber nicht, dass sie dem Schuldner den Schutz immer absprachen, es waren vielmehr situative Rechtsmaßnahmen. 
Der Autor untersucht Beispiele solcher schutzwirkenden Rechtsinstitute in den europäischen Rechtsystemen. Dabei nimmt er vor allem die Entstehung des vereinheitlichten polnischen Schuldrechts in den Blick, das unter den Einflüssen v.a. des französischen, österreichischen und deutschen Rechts entstanden ist - welches man wiederum auf das römische Recht zurückführen kann.

Essays in Law and History for David Ibbetson

This book follows the rise of the public trust doctrine - which obligates government to protect critical natural resources - from its ancient Roman origins to a modern force of environmental law. Focusing on California's enchanting Mono Lake, it tells the story of a group of everyday people who used the law to save it, spawning a legal revolution that reverberates globally. Their case pitted local advocates against thirsty Angelenos hundreds of miles away, in a dispute that stretches back to the dawn of Western water woes. Their story exemplifies the challenges of balancing legitimate needs for public infrastructure with competing environmental values, within systems of law still evolving to manage conflicting public and private rights in natural resources. Today, public trust principles infuse both common and constitutional law to protect water, wildlife, ecosystems, and climate - marrying sovereign obligations with environmental rights and raising open questions of legal theory, strategy, and meaning.

Routledge Revivals

State Trials, Volume II (first published in 1972) contains cases concerned with witchcraft, the scandals of the prisons, and colonial administration gathered from the full edition of State Trials completed in 1826. The author has selected some of the most interesting and important trials for this volume.The book includes a general introduction, explaining the significance of State Trials as a whole. Each selected case is then introduced by a short essay, which explains the events surrounding the trial and its importance in relation to legal history. State Trials will always be one of the most vivid and fascinating accounts of English life in all documentary literature. Tales of murder, treason, bigamy, adultery, political conspiracy, the scandals of the prison system, and the brutality of imperial conquest are told through the words of the great and the humble. Murderers, pornographers, conquerors, and heroes, all come alive in their own words. This book will be a fascinating read for students and researchers of law and history, and general readers interested in the topic.

Law as a Human Science

This collection of essays presents a socio-legal history of epidemics from the medieval period to the present day. Building on previous studies of infectious diseases undertaken by social historians of medicine, this collection explores the histories of epidemics and disease by looking at the legal measures deployed against them. Whilst previous works have considered the mechanisms by which legal change occurs, the social and political assumptions on which new laws and new legal structures are premised and the social changes which follow, this book focuses on the way in which historical actors understood law to be a complex means of responding to disease and the way in which that law shaped (and limited) the responses which could be made to disease. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it features contributions from scholars across a range of academic disciplines who consider the wider implications of epidemics and disease beyond the obvious health effects. The collection focuses first on regulatory responses such as the quarantine laws and border policies in the eighteenth century, the framing of 'disease' in the Colonial Immigration Acts in the nineteenth century and the ethics of public health in the twentieth century in Great Britain. It then goes on to consider developments in broader legal doctrine which themselves resulted from social and/or legal responses to disease, including the centralisation of labour regulation in the wake of the black death, property disputes about leper houses, pest houses and fever hospitals, and the prosecution of medical professionals for disease transmission in 19th century England. Methodologically all the chapters are historical, but a range of approaches has been taken, from quite traditional doctrinal legal history through socio-legal history to traditional political and social history, to bring the history of epidemics and the legal measures deployed against them in to sharp focus.

Epidemics and the Law from Plague to the Present

WINNER of 75th Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award: Biography 'FIVE STARS ... Magnificent' Telegraph 'Compulsively readable' Financial Times 'Gripping and timely' The Times 'Crackingly told' Philippe Sands 'A kind of masterclass' Sebastian Junger THE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE VOLUNTEER The true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him. In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth.

Some Versions of Legalism

A Concise History of American Law traces the development of the US legal order from the colonial era to the twenty-first century. Emphasizing the essential role of the common law--derived from judicial precedent, rather than legislation--eminent legal historian William E. Nelson examines the foundations of the American rule of law and its interactions over time with political, economic, and societal transformations. Synthesizing the broad structural, institutional, and ideological changes embedded within American legal history illuminates the significant role courts have played in structuring politics and society. Nelson's accessible chronological narrative details how the rule of law has both facilitated change, by protecting the rights of those who advocate for it, and inhibited change, by acting as a conservative bulwark protecting the rights and property of the rich and powerful. Weaving this fundamental tension between law and politics into his pithy account of how the law was made and practiced over three centuries of American history, Nelson has produced an invaluable guide to the intricate evolution of the modern US legal system.
