Law and history

Publisher:	Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2004.
Series:	Current legal issues, v. 6.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Law and History" contains a collection of essays by prominent legal historians that explore the ways in which history has been used by lawyers past and present to answer legal questions. This volume covers a broad range of topics, from a discussion of the nature of norms in the middle ages to the role of war crimes trials in the twentieth century. It includes wide-ranging historiographical discussions that examine the nature and aims of the legal historian, as well as contributions that explore the methodology and airms of writers such as Coke, Maine, Weber, Montesquieu, and Kames, who sought to use historical models to explain law. A number of contributions examine developments in legal doctrine, particularly in the nineteenth century, including developments in the law of contract, administrative law, and perjury. These raise important questions about the nature of the legal categorizations that developed in this era. "Law and History" also includes a collection of contributions on the use of history in twentieth-century trials, including the Nuremberg trials, the trial of the Gang of Four, and trials arising from the events in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.  Read more...
