The Hammond Historical Law Collection of which the following is a catalogue, has been donated to the State University of Iowa, by Mrs. William G. Hammond, in accor<lance with the wishes of her husband, expressed within a few days of his death, which occured at St. Louis, on April 12, 18<)4. Under the terms· of the gift the collection is to be kept tog~ther in cases specially provided for that purpose in the Law Library, and to remain there as a memorial of Dr. Hammond and of his connection with the Law Department as its Chancellor, from the organization of the Department in 1868 until 1881. The collection comprises twelve hundred and thirty-seven volumes, relating principally to the civil law and to the history of the common law. In the latter branch it covt!rs the legal institutions of the Teutonic tribes in general, and of the Anglo-Saxons in particular, as well- as the early period of the developments of legal institutions in England. Dr. Hammond, while preparing ii.is edition of Blackstone's Commen­ taries, collected copies of all th,e editions of that work published during the authOr's life-time, and this rare collection is included in the gift. In the Library is kept a card catalogue of the whole collection. F. H. N. IOWA CITY, June 15, 1895.

  • Ordering Divine Knowledge in Late Roman Legal Discourse
    Caroline Humfress ordering.3 More particularly, I will argue that the designation and arrangement of the title-rubrics within Book XVI of the Codex Theodosianus was intended to showcase a new, imperial and Theodosian, ordering of knowledge concerning matters human and divine. König and Whitmarsh’s 2007 edited volume, Ordering Knowledge in the Roman Empire is concerned primarily with the first three centuries of the Roman empire Ordering Divine Knowledge in and does not include any extended discussion of how knowledge was ordered and structured in Roman juristic or Imperial legal texts.4 Yet if we classify the Late Roman Legal Discourse Codex Theodosianus as a specialist form of Imperial prose literature, rather than Caroline Humfress classifying it initially as a ‘lawcode’, the text fits neatly within König and Whitmarsh’s description of their project: University of St Andrews Our principal interest is in texts that follow a broadly ‘compilatory’ aesthetic, accumulating information in often enormous bulk, in ways that may look unwieldy or purely functional In the celebrated words of the Severan jurist Ulpian – echoed three hundred years to modern eyes, but which in the ancient world clearly had a much higher prestige later in the opening passages of Justinian’s Institutes – knowledge of the law entails that modern criticism has allowed them. The prevalence of this mode of composition knowledge of matters both human and divine. This essay explores how relations in the Roman world is astonishing… It is sometimes hard to avoid the impression that between the human and divine were structured and ordered in the Imperial codex accumulation of knowledge is the driving force for all of Imperial prose literature.5 of Theodosius II (438 CE).

It has been accepted for inclusion in The Catholic Lawyer by an authorized editor of St. John's Law Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. EDMUND PLOWDEN' MASTER TREASURER OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE (1561-1570) RICHARD O'SULLIVAN D ENUO SURREXIT DOMUS: the Latin inscription high on the outside wall of this stately building announces and records the fact that in the year 1949, under the hand of our Royal Treasurer, Elizabeth the Queen, the Hall of the Middle Temple rose again and became once more the centre of our professional life and aspiration. To those who early in the war had seen the destruction of these walls and the shattering of the screen and the disappearance of the Minstrels' Gallery; and to those who saw the timbers of the roof ablaze upon a certain -midnight in March 1944, the restoration of Domus must seem something of a miracle. All these things naturally link our thought with the work and the memory of Edmund Plowden who, in the reign of an earlier Queen Elizabeth, devoted his years as Treasurer and as Master of the House to the building of this noble Hall.

  • Obliger À Aimer Les Lois. Paradoxe De L'augustinisme Juridique Chez Jean
    JEAN-PHILIPPE HEURTIN Obliger à aimer les lois. Paradoxe de l’augustinisme juridique chez Jean Domat « Je lis présentement le livre de M. Domat ; il y a à la tête un traité des lois que j’ai presque achevé : j’en suis extrêmement satisfait, car il y a beaucoup de piété et beaucoup de lumière. » Antoine Arnauld, Lettre à M. Du Vaucel (25 novembre 1689) « Et si un père de l’église a dit excellemment que notre vertu est l’ordre de l’amour, nous pouvons dire que notre justice est l’amour de l’ordre, comme elle est l’amour de la vérité qui le dispose. » Jean Domat, Harangues, 1657. omat est un juriste embarrassant pour les historiens du droit. Il est à la fois révéré comme l’un des premiers juristes modernes, mais aussi Dtrès largement méconnu. Sans doute, comme le soulignait S. Rials, tant son attachement au droit romain, que la prégnance chez lui de la pensée du péché, si typique de « la grandeur et du tragique de notre XVIIe siècle », ou que sa conception des juges qui « tiennent la place de Dieu, et qui doivent rendre ses jugements, exercent ce ministère avec les qualités que lui-même a marquées1 » nous sont devenus largement impénétrables2. La méconnaissance de Domat tient certainement aussi à la faiblesse des sources le concernant. Ainsi, Victor Cousin qui a beaucoup fait, au XIXe siècle pour la connaissance du jansénisme en général, et de Domat en particulier, pouvait-il, dans un bref texte, tout en signalant que « sa vie est très peu connue », reprendre les éléments très lacunaires de sa biographie, et dresser les principaux linéaments de ce qui va constituer jusqu’à aujourd’hui l’essentiel du portrait stylisé du magistrat auvergnat : « Il est incomparablement le plus grand jurisconsulte du dix-septième siècle ; il a inspiré et presque formé d’Aguesseau ; il a quelque fois prévenu Montesquieu, et frayé la route à 1.

  • 1 the Hon Tf Bathurst Chief Justice Of
    THE HON T F BATHURST CHIEF JUSTICE OF NEW SOUTH WALES FRANCIS FORBES SOCIETY AUSTRALIAN LEGAL HISTORY TUTORIALS ‘THE HISTORY OF EQUITY’ TUESDAY 27 OCTOBER 2015 INTRODUCTION 1. What amounts to the ‘law of equity’ is difficult to define. The oft-stated definition is that equity is the body of law which would have been applied in the UK by the Court of Chancery prior to the Judicature Acts of 1873-5.1 But that is a poor thing to call a definition and leads to the inevitable question of what ‘law’ Chancery was applying prior to the Judicature Acts. In order to understand the present definition of this body of law, it would thus seem necessary to go through the history of the long extinguished court of Chancery and the law applied by it. 2. That is what I will attempt to do in a few words today. As you will see, the law of equity is very much a creature of history, developed both in response to the state of the common law at various points in time and the individual personalities of the Lord Chancellors overseeing its implementation. As stated by one commentator: “… the accidents of history made equity a fragmentary thing. First one point, then another, was developed, but at no time was it the theory or the fact that equity would supplement the law at all places where it was unsatisfactory; consequently it has never been possible to erect a general theory of equity.”2 I express my thanks to my Judicial Clerk, Ms Sarah Schwartz, for her assistance in the preparation of this address.

Cracking the Codex: Late Roman Legal Practice in context. Caroline Humfress, Birkbeck College Introduction. Sometime between the second and fourth decades of the fourth century AD (probably shortly after the year 324, but just possibly as late as 348) the advocate Ammon wrote a letter home to his Mother in Panopolis, a major city of the Thebaid.1 Despite his own stated preference for a ‘…quiet life free from intrigue (as) befits those educated in philosophy and rhetoric…’2, 1 P.Ammon I 3 = The Archive of Ammon Scholasticus of Panopolis I: The Legacy of Harpocration (Pap. Colon. XXVI/1), edd. W.H. Willis and K. Maresch (Opladen, 1997), 19-46, dating P. Ammon I 3 to AD 348. For full discussion of the letter and its literary context see P. Van Minnen, ‘The Letter (and Other Papers) of Ammon: Panopolis in the Fourth Century AD’ in Perspectives on Panopolis.

  • The Law of Nature and the Early History of Unenumerated Rights in the United States
    THE LAW OF NATURE AND THE EARLY HISTORY OF UNENUMERATED RIGHTS IN THE UNITED STATES R. H. Helmholz This Paper seeks to make a modest contribution to the topic of unenumerated rights in American constitutional law by examining the role that natural law played in our legal system at the time of the founding of the Republic-a period here taken, largely for the sake of convenience, to run from the 1 7 90s through the 1820s. The Pa- per's focus is on case law, rather than legal theory or constitutional doctrine, although I have tried to say enough about the law of nature as it was understood at the time to put the cases into their intellectual context. Whether the evidence presented here makes any real im- pact on current controversies about unenumerated rights is not easy to say. Perhaps not. This, however, is a separate question, and except for a hesitant word at the end, this Paper does not address it. I have sought only to discover what role natural law played in day-to-day ju- risprudence during the nation's early years and to relate this evi- dence to the theme of this Conference. In other words, the question being discussed is whether-and in what ways-natural law thinking had any impact on the creation and protection of civil and human rights, drawing most of the evidence from the early federal and state reports. I. THE LAW OF NATURE C. 1800 In 1800, the law of nature held an established place in the think- ing of lawyers throughout the western world, including England and the American Republic.
