I am thankful to the librarians and the staff of Gonville and Caius
College, the Brotherton Library, the Bodleian Library, the Notting-
hamshire Archives and the Centre for Kentish Studies for their assist-
ance. The staff of the Cambridge University library, where this project
began, and the British Library deserve special recognition. Alison Shell,
Marie-Louise Coolahan and Jill Seal Millman furnished me with unpub-
lished research. Andrew Lacey and David Norbrook generously took
the time to comment on specific chapters, and John Kerrigan, Simon
Jarvis, Colin Burrow and Gavin Alexander offered valuable insights and
practical help. Cedric Brown and Andrew Hadfield were encouraging
and patient series editors, and I appreciate...

Cross-border claims for personal injuries are becoming more common.
Furthermore, European nationals increasingly join class actions in the
USA. These tendencies have created a need to know more about the law
of damages in Europe and America.
Despite the growing importance of this subject, there is a dearth of
material available to practitioners to assist them in advising their
clients as to the heads of damage recoverable in other countries. This
book aims to fill that gap by looking at the law in England, Germany
and Italy. It sets out the raw data in the wider context of tort law, then
provides a closer synthesis, largely concerned with methodological
issues,...

LEGAL CULTURE VERSUS Legal Tradition? The dichotomy is
unreal in most circumstances. But not in all.
Legal culture is legal tradition, and legal tradition is legal culture. But with
an exception. Those living the culture, namely lawyers including judges and
law professors, are usually unaware of the tradition. They are often unaware
of, and indifferent to, history. (I would like readers to know that I am dealing
only with private law. Constitutional law is beyond my expertise).

And what about outside the UK? BPP Learning Media strives to make our materials available at prices
students can afford by local printing arrangements, pricing policies and partnerships which are clearly
listed on our website. A tiny minority ignore this and indulge in criminal activity by illegally photocopying
our material or supporting organisations that do. If they act illegally and unethically in one area, can you
really trust them?

This study traces the transition of treason from a personal crime against the monarch to a
modern crime against the impersonal state. It consists of four highly detailed case studies
of major state treason trials in England beginning with that of Thomas Wentworth, First
Earl of Strafford, in the spring of 1641 and ending with that of Charles Stuart, King of
England, in January 1649.

It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge and thank my mentors, Derek
Attridge, Ronald Levao, Bridget Gellert Lyons, Jacqueline T. Miller, and
Michael McKeon, who have supported this project from its beginning to
the present day. Although I did not realize it at the time, this book also
owes a substantial debt to my participation in Constance Jordan’s Folger
Institute Seminar (Fall, 1994), which helped me to formulate an
intellectual framework from which to consider intersections between
fictional works and legal discourse...

There is a host of individuals who have aided me in preparing this edition of
The Law (in Plain English)® for Small Business for publication. It is impossible
to identify all of them within these pages, but some deserve special recognition.
I would like to thank the following friends, colleagues, former students, and
associates for their valuable assistance.

When I began writing The Law (In Plain English)
® series more than a quarter
of a century ago, I was a full-time law professor and practicing lawyer. As an
academic, I felt that my mission included providing educational tools for my
students. In my role as a practicing attorney, I realized the importance of hav-
ing material available for nonlawyers to help them understand the complex
legal rules they are required to follow. It was my belief that The Law (In Plain
English)® series would serve these goals, and over the years, my expectations
were realized....

The present work has i lled much of our time and thoughts for some years.
We send it forth, however, well knowing that in many parts of our i eld
we have accomplished, at most, a preliminary exploration. Oftentimes our
business has been rather to quarry and hew for some builder of the future
than to leave a i nished building. But we have endeavoured to make sure,
so far as our will and power can go, that when his day comes he shall have
facts and not i ctions to build with. How near we...

This book began in 1981 as a Ph.D. dissertation at the University of
Wisconsin and has continued to evolve and expand ever since. I have
accumulated many debts in the process of writing the book, and I am
happy to be able to thank those people who have generously taken the
time to improve it.

Like it or not, legal terms are everywhere,
demanding our attention. When you rent
an apartment, are you the lessor or the
lessee? When you read a newspaper article
about a politician embroiled in scandal,
what does it mean that a grand jury has
been convened? if a state trooper pulls
you over, and the speeding ticket says you
must post bail, what is it talking about?

'Treason', wrote Maitland,

'has a history all of its own.' Never-
theless that history has not previously received connected and
comprehensive study in the literature of legal history, and it is
therefore with the greatest pleasure that my first duty as general
editor of this series of studies is to commend to all those interested
Professor Bellamy's survey of the subject at large over the span
of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

In 1992 the University of North Carolina Press, in association with the
American Society for Legal History, published my two-volume work en-
titled The Mansfield Manuscripts and the Growth of English Law in the Eigh-
teenth Century. The two volumes were made up of three parts: transcrip-
tions of notes taken by LordMansfield of jury trials he conducted across his
thirty active years as Chief Justice of the Court of King’s Bench (1756–86),
my own explanatory essays, and a variety of appendixes. Together the two
volumes reached almost 1,700 printed pages. Because of its length and cost,
the work was aimed primarily at libraries and other institutional buyers;
certainly...

This study traces the history of the law of bills and notes in England
from medieval times to the period in the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries when bills played a central role in the domestic
and international financial system. It challenges the traditional
theory that English commercial law developed by incorporation of
the concept of negotiability and other rules from an ancient body of
customary law known as the law merchant. Professor Rogers shows
that the law of bills was developed within the common law system
itself, in response to changing economic and business practices.
This account draws on economic and business history to explain
how bills were...

My interest in the relationship between tort law and the implementation of
international human rights standards, particularly the European Convention on
Human Rights, was prompted by a series of cases decided in the last decade that
challenged the English courts to make public authorities accountable for their
actions. Perhaps the most notable was the House of Lords’ decision in X v.
Bedfordshire County Council, which held that no matter how gross a derelic-
tion of duty occurred there could be no liability in the English tort of negligence
where a public authority failed properly to perform its statutory obligations
relating to children. This book is a development and...

HereDe Lolmewrote not in his usual capacity as an observer andtheorist
of government, but as an engaged political participant. He embraced the
Repre ´sentants’ call for reformand republican renewal inseveral anonymous
polemics that contributed to the vibrant public debate thatGeneva’s rulers
found impossible to contain.Themost important of these publicationswas
the 1767 La purification des trois points de droit souille ´s par un anonyme (The
purification of three soiled points of law by an anonymous author). The
unrestrained tone of this attack on the constitutional authority of the rul-
ing Ne ´gatifs produced a prompt rebuke from the Genevan government,
accompanied by the recommendation that its author quit his native...

This volume represents the collected and edited papers of the second biennial
Oxford Anglo-German law conference held at St. John’s College, Oxford, on
13–15 September 2001. The conference series, jointly organised by leading
German and English law firms and the Oxford University Law Faculty and
hosted by Oxford, was the brainchild of Nikolas Tarling, and its purpose is to
provide a congenial forum for discussion of key issues in fields of mutual inter-
est by comparisons and contrasts between English and German law in the con-
text of international and European Community developments. The 2001
conference was attended by some 32 delegates and, as in 1999, was marked...

This chapter contains two questions which are not confined to one particular
part of the syllabus but are broader. Such questions are often included in
examinations in order to test your knowledge of recent developments in the
subject or simply to give you an opportunity, which most questions in law
papers do not, to demonstrate a joined-up, wide knowledge of the syllabus.
The second question is a general question, such as one sometimes finds in
examinations, which invites the examinee to take an overview of the subject
and to do so from a particular perspective. For that type of question, one needs
to have a good knowledge of...

.Family and the law in eighteenth-centuryfictionoffers challenging new interpretations of the public and private faces of individualism in the eighteenth-century English novel. John P. Zomchick begins by surveying the social, historical and ideological function of law and family in eighteenth-century England's developing market economy. He goes on to examine in detail their part in the fortunes and misfortunes of the protagonists in Defoe's Roxana, Richardson's Clarissa, Smollett's Roderick Random, Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield and Godwin's Caleb Williams. Zomchick reveals in these novels an attempt to produce a juridical subject: a representation of the individual identified with the principles and...

The preface of this book enables me to depict briefly how the thesis came into being
and, more importantly, to thank the people who helped me accomplish the project.
When I was reading law at Maastricht University Professor Wolfgang Mincke and
Professor Caroline Forder gave me the opportunity to study German and English
property law. In her tutorials on property law Caroline Forder excited my interest
in English property law. In a very stimulating way she supervised a paper I wrote
about land registration in Dutch and English law. Her dedication and zeal
impressed me very much....

At their simplest level, human relationships are about ties between people. These ties, however, are anything but simple; rather, they are complex interdependencies whose dynamic reciprocity of obligations and interests is not always represented in our legal thinking. This collection explores the intersection of interdependency and the law, and contemplates some of the key issues at stake in the way the law interprets and addresses human relationships.

Medical and social statistics present the alarming reality that one in four people will suffer from
mental illness at some point in their lives. Yet, in most countries, mental health is one of the least cared
about issues. Korea is no exception. Here people with mental disorders have been subject to prejudice,
stigma, discrimination and marginalization in all aspects of their social lives. Korean legal schemes
and practices reveal a grave injustice in the treatment of patients and the administration of the mental
health system. Yet, to this date, the Korean legal community has not shown the slightest of interests in
this matter. This paper, which...

The Judicial Reform Committee [JRC] was organized under the Supreme Court on October
28, 2003, which submitted final recommendations for the revision of the Criminal Procedure
Code [CPC] on the last day of 2004. On December 15, 2004, the Presidential Committee on
Judicial Reform was established to implement the 2004 recommendations of the JRC, and
submitted a bill for the revision of the CPC after a period of heated discussions and debates. On
December 21, 2007, the bill passed in the National Assembly. The 2007 revision of the CPC was
made as a comprehensive solution for the task. The introduction of the jury trial by the...

The unified procedure reduces the ex ante costs of choosing one procedure
over the other as well as the ex post costs of shifting from one procedure to the
other in case wrong procedure was chosen. The reform also introduced a
number of new systems into the rehabilitation proceeding, such as
comprehensive stay order, absentee voting, etc. Moreover, basic ideas of
debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) are incorporated into the receiver system, and
secured and unsecured creditors are guaranteed the liquidation value of their
collateral and the corporate value. Those modifications are intended to
improve the ex ante efficiency of rehabilitation proceeding by giving the
debtor an incentive to file for rehabilitation...

This Article offers an assessment of the preliminary evidence that the market for corporate
control functions as a disciplinary mechanism for poor corporate governance in Korea. It analyzes
SK Corporation’s fight against Sovereign Asset Management, contest for control over the
Hyundai Group, KT&G’s fight against Carl Icahn, and LG Group and Carlyle’s proxy contest
against Hanaro Telecom, together with relevant laws and regulations. These high-profile cases
dramatically exemplified the role of takeovers in the improvement of the corporate governance of
Korean companies, and brought about active policy discussions in respect of the market for
corporate control and takeover defenses. This Article will also provide a quick overview...
