Ordo rerum. Ante divisionem Congregationis in provincias et vicariatus (in Capitulo generali l86o) tota materia de regimine Societatis absolvebatur in unico capite "Du gouvernement de la Société" sive "De Societatis gubernio", quod fuit caput primum hujus partis tertiae. Et quidem in isto capite agebant imprimis de. gubernio centrali sive generali Congregationis (de quo habentur in editione la Constitutionum sex priores paragraphi) et postea de gubernio inferiore sive locali (de quo habentur octo paragraphi subséquentes quibus additur per modum . ■complementi paragraphus de ordine praecedentiae). V. Fundator secutus est in hoc — quoad dispositionem generalem rerum — Constitutiones et Regulas S. Alphonsi quae prae manibus habuit anno 1818. Facta divisione Congregationis in provincias, pristinum caput I scindi­ tur in duo capita abhinc editione 2a (185(3), ita quidem ut caput I agat de regi­ mine superiore Congregationis, scilicet generali et provinciali, caput II vero de regimine inferiore seu locali. 2. Titulus capitis. In Constitutionibus et Regulis S. Alphonsi paragraphus respectiva, i.e. V, ferebat hunc titulum "Del Rettore locali, ed altri Officiali", quem titulum P. de Mazenod assumpsit fere ad litteram in ms. I (1818); "§ 6 - Des supérieurs particuliers et autres officiers." In ms. "Honorat" primitus quidem idem omnirïo legebatur, sed postea textus correctus est hoc modo; "Des Supérieurs locaux et autres officiers." Abhinc ms, II (inter annos 1821-1825) ista paragraphus scinditur in plures, ita ut pro Superioribus localibus et pro variis officialibus localibus habeantur totidem paragraphi distinctae. Haec dispositio transit in editionem l3”* 1 (1827) ubi habentur, post 6 paragraphos de regimine generali, novem paragra­ phi cum suis titulis propriis ; "De Superioribus localibus - De Magistro novitio rum - De Oblatorum moderatore - De Praefecto spirituali fratrum famulantium - De Praefecto sacristiae - De Procuratore proprio - De Ministro seu lintearii custode - De Valetudinario praepositis - De Bibliothecae praeposito" quibus ad­ ditur paragraphus de ordine praecedentiae. In ed. 2a (1853) tota ista materia de regimine inferiore seu locali ef- format novum caput secundum cum titulo communi "De speciali Congregationis regimine". Et servatur per omnes editiones subséquentes. 3. Materia hujus capitis. Agit de omnibus iis quibus incumbit regimen sive administratio 11 specialis" 3 id est particularis sive propria singularum demorum vel residentia- rum, dum in capite primo agitur de iis quibus committitur regimen generale sive commune omnium domorum et residentiarum totius Congregationis e jusque circum­ scriptionum majorum, scilicet provinciarum et vicariatuum.

  • Jus Cogens: the Determination and the Gradual Expansion of Its Material Content in Contemporary International Case-Law
    JUS COGENS: THE DETERMINATION AND THE GRADUAL EXPANSION OF ITS MATERIAL CONTENT IN CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL CASE-LAW ANTÔNIO AUGUSTO CANÇADO TRINDADE∗ ∗ Ph.D. (Cambridge - Yorke Prize) in International Law; Former President of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights; Judge Elect of the International Court of Justice (The Hague); Professor of International Law at the University of Brasilia, Brazil; Member of the Institut de Droit International, and of the Curatorium of the Hague Academy of International Law. 3 I. Introductory Observations In my General Course on Public International Law, delivered at The Hague Academy of International Law in 2005, I characterized the doctrinal and jurisprudential construction of international jus cogens as proper of a new jus gentium, the International Law for Humankind. I sustained, moreover, that, in my understanding, and by definition, international jus cogens goes beyond the law of treaties, extending itself to the law of the international responsibility of the State, and to the whole corpus juris of contemporary International Law, and reaching, ultimately, any juridical act. In encompassing the whole International Law, it projects also over domestic law, invalidating any measure or act incompatible with it. Jus cogens has direct incidence on the very foundations of a universal International Law, and is a basic pillar of the new jus gentium1. On the occasion of this XXXV Course of International Law organized by the OAS Inter-American Juridical Committee here in Rio de Janeiro (August 2008), I purport, at first, to review the origins and content of that concept within the framework of the fundamental values of the international community.

  • A Brief History of Medieval Roman Canon Law in England
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL ROMAN CANON LAW IN ENGLAND In discussing the influence of the Canon law in England, the period of time open for our investigation is those cen- turies between the Norman Conquest and the Reformation, or from the middle of the iith to the middle of the i6th century. After the break with Rome by Henry VIII all direct connection with the Vatican is severed. How was the Canon law regarded prior to the Reformation? The investigator who examines simply the field of jurisdiction which the English State allowed the Church to appropriate, and who then finds that in England the Church was not suffered by the State to possess "certain considerable por- tions of that wide field of jurisdiction claimed by Canonists as the heritage of ecclesiastical law,"1 will probably abandon his investigation with the belief that the Canon law had scarcely any authority in England, so great was the English hostility manifested against it by the State. But, to get at the truth of the matter, is not this the question to be investigated when considering the influence of the Canon law in England: did the English ecclesiastical courts "hold themselves free to accept or reject, and did they in some cases reject, the Canon law of Rome?"2 The answer is, that the English ecclesiastical courts possessed no such power as that of accepting or rejecting the Canon law-they acknowledged its binding authority on them. Although England curtailed greatly the claims, of jurisdic- tion advanced by the Church, yet the fact is that within the limits of that curtailed ecclesiastical jurisdiction, the English Church, as a provincial church subordinated (by its own admissions) to the supreme head of the Western Latin Church, administered and rendered obedience to Roman medieval Canon law in the English spiritual courts.

  • The Revenge of the Arcane Exclusion Clause: the ... -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    winter 2005 Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal 179 THE REVENGE OF THE ARCANE EXCLUSION CLAUSE: THE CIVIL REGISTRATION OF MARRIAGE AND THE ROYAL FAMILY NOEL COX* AINTRODUCTION Over the past few centuries—indeed since the early days of Parliament—there have been occasions when ad hoc legislation has been enacted in response to the need to clarify specific royal situations. Whether these were for the purpose of regulating the succession to the Crown,1 or of royal marriages,2 or lately, for the creation of regencies,3 they were generally marked by their political nature and by an element of expediency. The personal wishes of those to whom the laws applied rarely predominated, or were even influential. They were primarily constitutional and political in nature. These special laws were intended to cater for the peculiar requirements of the time, but many of them were also to have longer-term application. Especially important in this latter respect were the Royal Marriages Act 1772,4 and the Act of Settlement 1701.5 The former was enacted to prevent members of the Royal Family from entering into unsuitable alliances by requiring royal consent to any marriage. This also was not primarily for their benefit, but rather to prevent the Crown from passing to the descendants of people deemed unsuitable. Just as the succession was limited to those who were Protestants and not adherents of the Roman Catholic Church, so the choice of spouse was regulated for what was seen as being the good of the country. The 1772 Act presents little difficulty today for descendants of King George II.

My topic is the Western legal tradition, viewed in a broad historical and philosophical perspective, its past and its future. In Part I, I shall discuss the development of the Western legal tradition from its origins in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries through the great national revolutions in Germany, England, France, and the United States. In Part II, I shall discuss the crisis of the Western legal tradition in the twentieth century, including the impact of the Russian Revolution and the World Wars, and the future of the Western legal tradition as we enter a new millennium, in which a multi-cultural West and East and North and South are beginning to forge a new tradition of world law.

  • European Legal History
    Legal Studies 171 Prof. McClain Fall Semester, 2011 EUROPEAN LEGAL HISTORY Most contemporary legal systems derive from one or the other of the two legal orders that developed in continental Europe and in England over the course of the centuries. This course is designed to introduce students to some of the main features of the continental European or civil law tradition, a tradition that has its origins in Roman law. We spend some time as well on the English common law tradition, which began to diverge from the law of continental Europe in the middle ages, and acquired its own distinctive character. Required texts are Peter Stein's Roman Law in European History , Manlio Bellomo’s The Common Legal Past of Europe, 1100-1800 and a photocopy reader available at Copy Central, 2560 Bancroft Way. Grade in the course will be based roughly 50% on the final exam, 20% on each of the midterms, and 10% on section performance. The GSI for this course is Sara Ludin, a Ph.D. student in BerkeleyLaw’s Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program.. SYLLABUS OF TOPICS COVERED I.

  • Law and War in Late Medieval Italy: the Jus Commune on War and Its Application in Florence, C
    Law and War in Late Medieval Italy: the Jus Commune on War and its Application in Florence, c. 1150-1450 by Ryan Martin Greenwood A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Ryan Martin Greenwood (2011) Law and War in Late Medieval Italy: the Jus Commune on War and its Application in Florence, c. 1150-1450 Ryan Martin Greenwood Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2011 Abstract This study, on law and war in late medieval Italy, has two primary aims. One is to review the legal tradition on war as it developed in the medieval jus commune, or common law, from approximately 1150-1300, and then to consider how that tradition evolved from roughly 1300-1450. In general the latter period still represents a lacuna in scholarship on the legal theory of war, and can be addressed as a distinct period because the fourteenth century was a time when theory moved in important new directions. It will be suggested in turn that those new directions were related to changing politics and institutions in Italy. The second aim continues and reflects the first, as it seeks to better understand how legal arguments about war and peace were employed in practice, using Florence as an example. The study finds that these legal arguments found their most important role in diplomacy. Florentine diplomatic records, as well as legal opinions (or consilia) on inter-city disputes, will help to examine the complex nature of that role.

  • Chap. 8.] the KING's REVENUE. 280 Clergy
    Chap. 8.] THE KING's REVENUE. 280 clergy. I shall only here observe that this is now done in consequence of the statute 25 Hen. VIII, c. 20. As head of the church, the king is likewise the dernier resort in all ecclesi- astical causes; an appeal lying ultimately to him in chancery from the sentence of every ecclesiastical judge: which right was restored to the crown by statute 25 Hen. VIII c 19, as will more fully be shewn hereafter. (34) CHAPTER VIII. OF MHE KING'S REVENUE. HAVING, in the preceding chapter, considered at large those branches of the king's prerogative, which contribute to his royal dignity, and constitute the executive power of the government, we proceed now to examine the king's fiscal prerogatives, or such as regard his revenue; which the British constitution hath vested in the royal person, in order to support his dignity and maintain his power: being a portion which each subject contributes of his property, in order to secure the remainder. This revenue is either ordinary or extraordinary., The king's ordinary reve- nue is such as has either subsisted time out of mind in the crown; or else has been granted by parliament by way of purchase or exchange for such of the king's inherent hereditary revenues, as were found inconvenient to the subject. When I say that it has subsisted time out of mind in the crown, I do not mean that the king is at present in the actual possession of the whole of this revenue. Much (nay, the greatest part) of it is at this day in the hands of sub- jects; to whom it has been granted out from time to time by the kings of England: which has rendered the crown in some measure dependent on the people for its ordinary support and subsistence.

  • Margarita Decretalium
    Margarita Decretalium The Margarita Decretalium ("Pearls of the Decretals") is the index that appears at the end of the Decretales Gregorii IX , or Liber Extra , volume 2 of the three-volume Corpus Juris Canonici , online at http://digidev.library.ucla.edu/canonlaw/ It is an index to the text of the decretals themselves, in contrast to the Materiae Singulares at the beginning of the volume, which is an index to the Ordinary Gloss (q.v.). The Margarita index seems to have been assembled during the late thirteenth century, some time before the appearance of the Liber Sextus in 1298. Most of the references to the legislation of Innocent IV (1243-54) and Gregory X (1272-76) are to their Novellae, even when specifying decretals that were incorporated into the Sext (their position in the Sext is indicated in the expanded edition of the Margarita below). Occasionally one does see a reference to the Sext (for instance in the entry, "Accusatio contra inopem," referring to Innocent IV's decretal Frequens from the Second Council of Lyons, Sext 2.5.1, but this is undoubtedly the work of later editors). Each entry in the original index gives only the title and chapter incipit of the relevant decretal, in addition to the column number; in the edited index below, the book, title, and chapter numbers have been added. Every entry has been checked for accuracy, and corrections made where needed. H. A. Kelly, UCLA July, 2007 Margarita Decretalium Libellus admodum singularis omnes flosculos in ipsarum Decretalium textibus reconditos secundum alphabeti ordinem explicans Topic Entry, Title, Chapter, bk.tit.ch.
