Book excerpt: Roman Law: An Introduction offers a clear and accessible introduction to Roman law for students of any legal tradition. In the thousand years between the Law of the Twelve Tables and Justinian’s massive Codification, the Romans developed the most sophisticated and comprehensive secular legal system of Antiquity, which remains at the heart of the civil law tradition of Europe, Latin America, and some countries of Asia and Africa. Roman lawyers created new legal concepts, ideas, rules, and mechanisms that most Western legal systems still apply. The study of Roman law thus facilitates understanding among people of different cultures by inspiring a kind of legal common sense and breadth of knowledge. Based on over twenty-five years’ experience teaching Roman law, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of the subject, as well as a historical introduction which contextualizes the Roman legal system for students who have no familiarity with Latin or knowledge of Roman history. More than a compilation of legal facts, the book captures the defining characteristics and principal achievements of Roman legal culture through a millennium of development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great and lasting influences on the course of Western culture, Roman law occupies a unique place in the history of the civilized world. Originally the law of a small rural community, then of a powerful city-state, it became the law of an empire which embraced almost all of the known civilized world. The influence of Roman law extends into modern times and is reflected in the great codifications of private law that have come into existence in Europe, America, and Asia. Even now, Roman law in modified form is the law of the land in Scotland, and the civil code of Louisiana is directly based on Roman law. Forming an important part in the historical and intellectual background of understanding and a basis for further development of the principles of international jurisprudence. In this book an international authority on Roman legal history sets forth in clear, understandable English the institutions of Roman law and traces their development through the Byzantine Empire into medieval and modern Europe. It is an indispensable study for every American lawyer and for anyone interesting in legal and political history.
Book Synopsis An Historical Introduction to Modern Civil Law by : Thomas Glyn Watkin
Download or read book An Historical Introduction to Modern Civil Law written by Thomas Glyn Watkin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The civil law systems of continental Europe, Latin America and other parts of the world, including Japan, share a common legal heritage derived from Roman law. However, it is an inheritance which has been modified and adapted over the centuries as a result of contact with Germanic legal concepts, the work of jurists in the mediaeval universities, the growth of the canon law of the western Church, the humanist scholarship of the Renaissance and the rationalism of the natural lawyers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This volume provides a critical appreciation of modern civilian systems by examining current rules and structures in the context of their 2,500 year development. It is not a narrative history of civil law, but an historical examination of the forces and influences which have shaped the form and the content of modern codes, as well as the legislative and judicial processes by which they are created are administered.

This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Introduction to the Roman Law In a general course upon the Roman Law, I do not find it profitable to devote any large proportion of the lectures to its history. There are two methods of teaching the Roman Law, both of which have dis tinguished supporters. One is to present it as a thing apart, without reference to the present. The student is left to make any applications which he may see fit. The other method is to Show the way in which the Roman Law has grown into the modern Civil Law. In a country like England the former method is the more natural, because the Roman Law and the English Law are essentially different systems. In a country of the Civil Law, like the Province of Quebec, the latter method is, I think, the more useful. Between the ancient and the modern law, there is no breach of continuity; the one has grown out of the other. Whichever method we adopt, the law cannot be made intelligible to the student.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Introduction to the Roman Law The facts that another edition of this book has been called for, and that the second edition has been translated into Portuguese indicate that it makes an appeal to students who are attending lectures upon the Institutes. It does not pretend to be a systematic history of the Roman law, nor is it intended in any way to take the place of a commentary on the Institutes of Justinian. It is rather a series of chapters on problems, mainly historical, which confront the student who is beginning the Roman law. Its aim is to be complementary to a course of lectures, and to supply a historical background. The historical notices contained in the Institutes of Justinian are so fragmentary that without more information the student does not see the law in its true perspective. He has to be reminded that the law of Justinian is the culmination of a long history, and that the Romans started with a little body of Aryan customs, out of which their extraordinary genius was able by slow degrees to shape a legal system of the greatest refinement. Unfortunately the pressure of other subjects renders it impossible for most students to make a detailed study of the history of Roman law. If the "introduction" is not to encroach upon the time assigned to the practical law it must be kept within narrow limits. The difficulty is largely one of selection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman law forms an important part of the intellectual background of many legal systems currently in force in continental Europe, Latin America and other parts of the world. This book traces the historical development of Roman law from the earliest period of Roman history up to and including Justinian's codification in the sixth century AD. It examines the nature of the sources of law, forms of legal procedure, the mechanisms by which legal judgments were put into effect, the development of legal science and the role of the jurists in shaping the law. The final chapter of the book outlines the history of Roman law during the Middle Ages and discusses the way in which Roman law furnished the basis of the civil law systems of continental Europe. The book combines the perspectives of legal history with those of social, political and economic history. Special attention is given to the political development of the Roman society and to the historical events and socio-economic factors that influenced the growth and progress of the law. Designed to provide a general introduction to the history of Roman law, this book will appeal to law students whose course of studies includes Roman law, legal history and comparative law. It will also prove of value to students and scholars interested in ancient history and classics.
